This previously unpublished photo is from San Diego; taken in either in 1991 or 1992 I think. I have just introduced Jack Kirby to his namesake, Kirby Veitch. Jack’s response: “Yoiks!”

John Totleben sneaks Steve and Maia Bissette, myself and Alan Moore into a crowd scene while inking my SWAMP THING #37 pencils.

The Smith Magazine folks have organized a mind-bending birthday tribute to Harvey Pekar, getting over ninety artists to contribute original head shots of that famous mug. Here’s mine (with a tip of the hat to fellow collage fiend, Jack Kirby).

This is the portrait my dad, Robert Veitch Jr., painted of me back in 1958. He worked from my First Grade school photo which had been taken a year earlier, when I was six years old. The painting hung in our living room while I was growing up and if you look closely at the upper lip you’ll see thumbtack holes where my brothers sometimes attached paper mustaches.

Found this negative in the back of a drawer. It’s from my high school yearbook photo. I’m 17 and obviously trying out my new super X-Ray powers.

Self portrait circa 1976. Ball-point pen in sketchbook.

Cerebus tormented by the ultimate nightmare in #204. Figure by Dave Sim, backgrounds by Gerhard and letters by me.

A pen and ink commission of Henry Miller. 1998.

A faux ad, mashing up the FAMOUS ARTISTS SCHOOL and my RARE BIT FIENDS dream comic, that I snuck into the last issue of the 1963 series; TOMORROW SYNDICATE.
