Free Comic Book Day Guest Announcement!
Joe Orsak was inspired to become a comic book artist at the age of eleven by the artwork of JOE SINNOTT in TREASURE CHEST and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY. In 1982 Orsak launched a comic strip in the newspapers of Syracuse, NY, THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN ‘CUSE. The strip ran weekly for eight years. Joe turned to sports comics in the 1990s, working on bios of MICKEY MANTLE, BROOKS ROBINSON and DUKE SNIDER for MAGNUM COMICS. These books gave Joe the chance to work with his inspiration… Orsak’s pencils were inked by Joe Sinnott!
In 2001 Orsak was picked by his friend ROGER STERN to pencil and ink a two-page tale for the 9-11 tribute book 9-11ARTISTS RESPOND for DARKHORSE.
In 2008 he returned to comic strips with SALT CITY, another strip about his hometown, this time with a female superheroine, written by Douglas Brode. The comic strip drew the attention of people at MCFARLAND and Co., who asked Joe and Doug to launch their line of graphic novels. Joe and Doug created YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS the Myth of Emily Morgan and VIRGIN VAMPIRES for MCFARLAND Inc.
Joe is now working with AHOY Comics doing spot illustrations in THE WRONG EARTH. PLANET OF THE NERDS and DRAGONFLY & DRAGONFLYMAN and MY BAD and is involved with new comic book projects for STELLAR COMICS. He also does sports artwork and will have a limited selection at his table, including hand painted baseballs and pucks. More of Joe Orsak’s artwork can be found at his website… jorsak.com
