Working with Steve Jackson Games, John’s also responsible for the look of the fan-favorite perennial best-seller MUNCHKIN card game (5 million + sold). He’s drawn more than 7,000 cards for MUNCHKIN, and its spin-offs, and wouldn’t mind a vacation, now, because of it.
DORK TOWER, his hit independent comic book, sold 500,000 copies. DR. BLINK: SUPERHERO SHRINK, his satirical superhero comic book, has been optioned for both film and television.
