	Rick Veitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Veitch studied cartooning at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, and was in the first class to graduate from the school in 1978, along with his future long-time collaborators Steve Bissette and John Totleben.
		Veitch had already made his publishing debut prior to attending the Kubert School: in 1972, he illustrated the horror parody Two-Fisted Zombies (written by his brother Tom Veitch), but this one-shot failed to make a splash in the fading underground comics field of the '70s.
		Although DC had approved Veitch's initial script for the Jesus story, the issue was later deemed too inflammatory and was cancelled at the last minute, a decision which may have been influenced by the then-recent criticism of the film The Last Temptation of Christ.

	read yourself RAW - Profile: Rick Veitch
		In 1976 Rick enrolled in the Joe Kubert School and was part of the school's first graduating class in 1978.
		Rick was highly active in the 1980's drawing issues of Swamp Thing, Nexus, Scout and Miracleman before becoming regular penciller of Swamp Thing, collaborating for a year and a half with Alan Moore before taking over as writer.
		Veitch's Swamp Thing run ended in controversy in 1989 when DC refused to publish #88, intended to be the climax to a series of time travel stories resulting in Swamp Thing being the wooden cross upon which Jesus was crucified.

	The Many Sides of Rick Veitch: R A I N T A X I o n l i n e Summer 2006
		Veitch’s latest graphic novel, in fact, is one of his most challenging, because unlike most comics—indeed, contradicting what many hold to be the very essence of comics—the words and the pictures of Can’t Get No have only the most tenuous of relationships.
		Veitch excels at presenting information without dialogue or exposition; we learn necessary background from ads, billboards, signs, posters, newspaper clippings, etc., and his palette of facial expressions and gestures is large and varied, communicating worlds.
		Veitch’s writing and art may not have the formal elegance and postmodern savvy of his sometime collaborator Alan Moore’s, but his rougher, edgier style generally serves his story—this is an urgent warning communicated in thick yet kinetic strokes, as if by the love child of R. Crumb and Jack Kirby.

	The Book Review: Can't Get No
		Artist Rick Veitch presents his response to the events of September 11th 2001, with his strange, silent and stylish urban parable about anxiety and disaffection.
		Veitch's characters run the full gamut of body types, and while many of them range from beautiful to grotesque, many more have a foot in both camps.
		Veitch invokes a lot of troubling imagery, such as the infamous 'Falling Man' photograph, and one subplot sees the lead defending a Lebanese couple from a group of off-duty soldiers.

	CATCHING UP WITH RICK VEITCH - NEWSARAMA
		Rick Veitch is one of the most respected, talented and edgy comic book creators in the business and he’s had a very good year.
		Veitch was the writer and John Totleben was supposed to draw that, and I think that was supposed to be published by Kitchen Sink in the early 90's.
		Veitch is a genius and I would like to hear moe about Hellhead and any other King Hell Heroica stuff that might be in the pipe (or even the stuff that isn't).

		Veitch, 47, has been creating comic books professionally at almost all the major companies for over two decades, while Conley, 28, has spent the last few years gamely self publishing his own book in what both concede is a dying market.
		Veitch, who also self published his comics, puts it this way, "Not long ago there were a healthy number of distributors competing to offer the best service to all publishers, regardless of size, and the market was as rich and diverse as its ever been in America.
		Veitch explains it this way, "We all recognize that enlightened self-interest is what makes capitalism work, but the comics industry kind of forgot about the enlightened part and got a little too wrapped up in short term profits.

		Our favorite Rick Veitch headline (and we're paraphrasing and probably losing something in the translation) was for a comic retailer obituary, which went something like "Retailer Fills His Last Long Box." Veitch held out hope that he might return to the Splash at some point in the future; let's hope so.

	The Comics Journal: Interviews
		Rick Veitch traded in his role as controversial comics writer/artist (Swamp Thing, The One, Maximortal, Roarin' Rick's Rare Bit Fiends, and most recently the Greyshirt stories in Alan Moore's Tomorrow Stories) for one as controversial host-editor of a convention-styled website (Comicon.com) and online news report (Splash).
		Creative conflicts with mainstream publishers led Veitch to self-publish in the early 1990s, but, discouraged by Diamond Comic Distributors' dominance of distribution, he embraced the Internet as an alternative comics-marketing outlet and as an outsider vantage point from which to observe and comment on the industry.
		The e-mail format of this interview allowed Veitch to compose generous and thought-provoking answers, but unfortunately, it also allowed him to dodge crucial questions about the repressed connection between the Internet and his sexuality.

	Can't Get No \| The A.V. Club
		Case in point: Rick Veitch's Can't Get No, which draws heavily on the New York attacks for mood, but ultimately reduces them to a mere backdrop, with the Twin Towers' collapse as an easily packaged metaphor for one man's personal collapse.
		Veitch's protagonist, overstressed executive Chad Roe, loses his tentative grip on normalcy when his "ultra-permanent marker" company is sued into oblivion over the indelible graffiti blanketing Manhattan.
		And by forcing readers to slow down and breathe, Veitch gives them time to absorb his fetish for grotesque detail, from the scraggly hairs on a policeman's upper lip to the saliva dripping from a set of fake teeth.

	CAN'T GET NO RICK VEITCH GRAPHIC NOVEL EXCLUSIVE SIGNED JON MATHEWSON REVIEW RA
		What Veitch has to say is transported by the story, but transcends the specifics as all literature ought.
		Veitch has combined words and pictures to show how Americans reflected on and deflected the events and deeper meanings of that day, and he has done it in such a way that it goes beyond 9/11 much the same way Auden’s poem September 1, 1939 has relevance beyond that specific day.
		Veitch has also raised the bar for people writing graphic novels: it is time other comic artists rose above the childhood dreams of superheroics and autobiographical self-absorption and stretched a little closer to the literature Will Eisner always told us comics can become.

		I also felt that comics (this is circa 1976 remember) had a lot of potential, both in the mainstream, which was pretty lame at the time, and what we called the 'underground', which was exciting but still limited in focus.

		Veitch targets the inherent silliness of the genre, but he also takes aim at the media in general, at society and our abandoning of freedoms and an atmopshere of acceptance.
		Veitch challenges the reader as he entertains, and it makes for a volume that fans of mature sequential storytelling shouldn't miss.
		Veitch's artwork is richly textured here; he captures a gritty, filthy quality in the Slumberg setting that establishes and maintains an atmopshere of ugliness throughout the book.

	Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > re Alan Moore falling out with DC in the eighties
		Anyway, according to Roarin' Rick the claim that Alan Moore left DC in the late 80s through dissatisfaction with the proposed rating system was just a cover story for some rather more insisdioud behaviour on the part of DC.
		some people have read the script, copies of which veitch gave away and most say it´s hardly controversial at all, but dc´s lawyers seemed to be afraid of christian fundamentalists getting upset about comics featuring truly spiritual content which might slightly disagree with conventional notions of who christ was..i guess: dunno haven´t read the script.
		in the wake of moore, miller and veitch walking dc learned some lessons concerning how to treat creators and i guess this influenced the way the vertigo line was set up: relatively creator friendly and relatively unafraid of more controversial issues (at the time), like gay superheroes and stuff.
