Sandy Plunkett moved to southeast Ohio in 1990. He made his debut in the comic book world in the late 1970s, with several works for Marvel, DC and Gold Key comics.

A self -taught illustrator and comic book artist, Plunkett came of age in New York City during the 60′s and 70′s and began drawing for Marvel Comics at eighteen. Throughout his ongoing career, he has drawn for several other major publishers, including DC Comics. His trademark look can be seen in countless posters, CD covers and political cartoons, as well as in those comics treasured by collectors.

“Featuring nearly four hundred selections from sketchbooks kept over the past twenty years, this collection is an insightful examination of the difficulties and successes Plunkett has experienced in keeping his work alive and evolving. The drawings cover a wide range of styles and subject matter, though all are rooted in the visual vernacular of illustration, comic, and popular art of America, evincing influences as diverse as Thomas Hart Benton and R. Crumb.”  Ohio University Press
