Batton Lash is a comic-book and comic-strip writer-artist best known for Wolff and Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre and the subsequent Supernatural Law. He was nominated for two Harvey Awards i 2003, and won the 2009 Independent Book Publishers Association's Benjamin Franklin Award for Graphic Novel.

Career

Since 1979, he has been writing and drawing Wolff and Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre which first appeared as a weekly newspaper strip in The Brooklyn Paper and The National Law Journal, later renamed Supernatural Law when it made the leap to full-length comic book stories under Batton Lash's own company, Exhibit A Press, in 1994. It also appears online.[1]

Later he also wrote Radioactive Man for Bongo Comics. The series received an Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication in 2002.[citation needed]

In 2009, Lash began working with conservative writer James D. Hudnall on an online comic strip critical of President Barack Obama, "Obama Nation". The controversial cartoons, appearing on a website run by Andrew Breitbart, have been criticized by some as being nonsensical and hateful.[citation needed] A 2011 cartoon was called racist because it caricatured First Lady Michelle Obama and President Obama in ways that stereotype African-Americans.[citation needed]
