Eleven Questions with T.E. Pouncey: Mort Todd

Mort Todd is a comic artist, writer, and creator who has been a major force in comic books since he was a teenager.

"I was always drawing as a youth and became editor of my summer camp newspaper," Mort said. "I appropriated their mimeograph machine and started self-publishing comics by junior high."

Moving from Maine to New York City , Mort met Dan Clowes and other teens and began Psycho Comics and other titles. He also sold stories to DC comics, Marvel, Fantagraphics, and Kitchen Sink before becoming editor of Cracked magazine.

"After that I started my own company, put out a Bill Ward magazine, a bilingual humor comic," Mort said . "Later I launched the Marvel Music line working with bands like Alice Cooper, KISS, the Rolling Stones, and Bob Marley with work by Neil Gaiman, Kyle Baker, Gene Colan and other great talent."

Currently, Mort has his own company Comicfix, which did newspaper strips (Speed Racer, Molly the Model) and is now focused on, but not limited to, the Sadistik photo novels, featuring the adventures of a Super Criminal. Mort is also working on a few scripts that are being considered for film and TV.
