Michael Buonauro

Michael A. Buonauro (27 May 1979 – May 2004), born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida was an American webcomic artist, and author.

His most well known work was "Marvelous Bob", a web-published story based on the conventions of [[Superhero][comic book superheroes]], but with a distinctively realist, postmodern style. The titular character is an individual with the powers of a superhero, but is an antihero in many ways: for instance, unlike most "heroes", he has no scruples about killing when necessary.

Michael was also co-creator of the webcomics "Dr. Lobster", "Gamer Hotties", and "Wrench Farm", all of which were joint projects with his friend Jeff Lofvers.

He took his life the day of his 25th birthday, not long after a break-up with his girlfriend.

His mother, Judy, has established the Michael A. Buonauro Foundation to provide assistance to families of suicide victims.
