Artie Edward Romero (born October 7, 1951, in Springfield, Missouri)[1] is an American cartoonist, animator and publisher. He is best known for his underground comix and minicomics work of the 1970s and early 1980s.
Romero published original illustrations by Frank Frazetta, Vaughn Bode, Barry Windsor-Smith and Michael William Kaluta in his comics and science fiction fanzine Realm (1969–72).[2] In 1973, he was a founding partner of Everyman Studios, an artists' collective. Other founding members of Everyman Studios include prominent illustrators Rick Berry and Darrel Anderson, who later founded Braid Media Arts.[3]
In 1974–75, Anderson and Romero were co-editors of a Colorado Springs alternative newspaper, The Everyman Flyer,[4] which included underground comix.[5]
From 1978 to 1981, Romero edited and published Cascade Comix Monthly,[6][7] a fanzine about underground comix which included artist interviews, including Art Spiegelman, Dan O'Neill, Gilbert Shelton and Trina Robbins. Cascade published original comix by S. Clay Wilson, Skip Williamson, Jay Lynch and other underground cartoonists. A variety of minicomics and full-size underground comix were published under Everyman Comics' imprint.[8]
While attending college in 1972, Romero began working on animation projects,[9] such as music videos, TV commercials and movie titles. He continued to do so through 1994, when he founded ARG! Cartoon Animation studio.[10] ARG! produces animation for movies, television and the web. Romero's screen credits include special effects animation for Johnny Mnemonic[11] (Sony Pictures, 1995), and animated cartoon segments for a children's program, TV Planet (Rocky Mountain PBS, 1999).[12][13]
