CREATORS - GARY YAP - Contributing Artist

GARY YAP – Working in comics from 1989 – 1994, Gary owes his big break to an artist by the name of David Williams. He was scheduled to be the Inker for a mini-series called Tommy and the Monsters (eventually renamed Monsters from Outer Space) but, when David left the book prematurely, he suddenly found himself not only the book’s Inker, but the book’s Penciler, Letterer, and Cover Artist, as well. Talk about trial by fire. From there, he went on to work as an Inker for DC Comics, Malibu Comics, and even did the whole Penciler/Inker/Cover Artist thing again for a parody book called Loco vs. Pulverine for Eclipse Comics, where he poked fun at everyone from Neal Adams to Dave Sim (and still has the encouraging letters from them to prove it). He’s spent the past five years working on Fox’s King of the Hill and The Simpsons as everything from a Storyboard Artist to a Character Layout Artist, from an Assistant Director to a Retakes Director. He also began a professional wrestling organization called EPIC Pro Wrestling. But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
