Peter Kuper

Peter Kuper's (b. 1958 USA) work has appeared in numerous magazines, including Mad, where he illustrates 'Spy vs. Spy' by Antonio Prohias. His 'Eye of the Beholder' was the first comic strip to appear regularly in the New York Times and is now syndicated nationally to alternative papers. Rolling Stone named him Hot Comic Artist in 1995. In 1979 Kuper co-founded the political comix magazine 'World War 3 Illustrated' with Seth Tobocman, and he remains on the editorial board to this day. He has taught a course on alternative comix at the School of Visual Arts in New York since 1987 and is also an art director of INX, a political illustration group syndicated by United Features. He lives in Manhattan with his wife Betty Russell and their daughter Emily.
