Title
Fama Comics & Illustration
Description
Gene Fama is one of four children born to the University of Chicago Finance professor of the same name and his Boston-bred bride Sally. Gene Sr.'s work took the family to Belgium for a year when our man was just a teen and there he sampled European life at its most decadent. While overseas, the artwork of Jean Giraud (Moebius), Hergé, and classical European painters made a major impact on Gene's illustration and coloring style that was to develop. Upon his family's return to the U.S., Gene attended the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and was referred to in his senior yearbook as "Outstanding Cartoonist" (fellow classmate Dan Clowes received an honorable mention). Following a series of tawdry affairs with neighborhood chippies, Gene went on to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the U of C. A brief stint at New York's Parsons School of Design with some of today's top unemployed comic book artists ensued and Gene subsequently moved to Southern California where he began raking in the big bucks in the investment industry.
Ellen Sawyer has logged time as Editor of Roger Corman's Cosmic Comics and Managing Editor of Film Threat magazine. Ellen is currently a real estate tycoon in Southern California.
