EspañolRICK GEARY
'Rick Geary' (born 1946 in Kansas City, Missouri) is an artist who is known primarily for his non-fiction comic book series, ''A Treasury of Victorian Murder''. The series chronicles such notables as H. H. Holmes, Lizzie Borden, Charles Guiteau and Jack the Ripper.
Geary's style is evolved from his early imitations of Edward Gorey. He often uses an unusual narrative device. For example, ''The Borden Tragedy'' is narrated through actual excerpts of a period diary and ''The Fatal Bullet'' gets its steam by contrasting the lives of Garfield and Guiteau, illuminating many surprising similarities.
Geary was initially introduced to comics readers with his contributions to the Heavy Metal and National Lampoon magazines.
He has also created a number of postcards as well as illustrations for all kinds of publications.
Geary's artwork is distinctive, typically consisting of stark clean black lines against a white background, with a total absence of half-tone or shading. Even more distinctive is Geary's method of panel art. Most comics artists will draw several consecutive sequential panels of the same characters in the same setting: Geary, uniquely, almost never devotes two consecutive panels to the same locale or character. This creates a constant impression of jumping from one image to another.
He has been recognized for his work with the National Cartoonist Society Magazine and Book Illustration Award for 1994.
