Mike Vosburg's comics career began in the 1960s, when as a 15-year-old teenager he started
Masquerader in 1962, one of the first comic book
fanzines, which lasted eight issues (0-7) until 1964. He began working in
underground comics in the 1970s, with creations such as
Split Screen, written by
Tom Veitch. Later in the 1970s and 1980s, Vosburg contributed to horror titles by
Western Publishing and
Charlton Comics. His story "Mail Order Brides", published in
Kitchen Sink Press's
Bizarre Sex #3, was in a similar horror/mystery vein. Around this time, Vosburg also did various work for
DC Comics and
Marvel Comics. His works from that period include
Savage She-Hulk,
Sisterhood of Steel, and
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. He also worked on the
Valiant Comics' titles
Bloodshot and
Archer & Armstrong. From 1989 to 1996, for the TV series
Tales from the Crypt, Vosburg illustrated comic book covers designed to look like the original
1950s eponymous comics. Originally hired to do concept drawings for the wraparound sequence, Vosburg ended up storyboarding the title segment as well as illustrating almost every cover used in the show's 93 episodes (although at least one was by
Shawn McManus, "The Man Who Was Death"). While Vosburg still does occasional comics work like covers and pinups, or his self-published
Lori Lovecraft books, most of his time is currently devoted to television and film. He has done storyboarding work for such directors as
John Frankenheimer,
Robert Zemeckis,
Allan Arkush, and
Gilbert Adler; on projects as diverse as
David Mamet's
The Water Engine, the
Elian Gonzalez Story,
Prince Charming, and
Demon Knight. He has also done storyboarding for music videos, such as "
Stan" and "
Let Me Blow Ya Mind". == Personal life ==
