Jhonen Vasquez
Jhonen Vasquez (* 1. September 1974 in San Jose , California ), also known by his pseudonym Mr. scolex and chancre scolex is comic draftsman and has been a cartoon series created.
His most famous works include Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (= Johnny the gunman), Squee! and the animated series Invader Zim . Jhonen's comics are mostly black and white and contain black humor and a lot of cynicism and are aimed at adult readers. They have not yet appeared in German.
Despite this rather gloomy mood in his works, the children's broadcaster Nickelodeon commissioned him in 2001 with a cartoon series. He designed the successful series Invader Zim , which was canceled by Nickelodeon a year later due to a lack of viewership (according to the official announcement). The episodes have also been broadcast on the German branch Nick since December 2005.
Contrary to this official version, there is a multitude of fan pages on the net with drawings, paintings and computer graphics, homemade rag dolls and other creations from the Invader Zim world. On these pages there is often criticism of the numerous fans of Nickelodeon for the, in the opinion of the fans, inappropriate cancellation of the series.
His eccentric comics are published by the American independent comic publisher Slave Labor Graphics .
