Jules Feiffer

When Feiffer was 17 (in the mid-1940s) he became assistant to cartoonist Will Eisner. There he helped Eisner write and illustrate his comic strips, including ''The Spirit''. In 1956, he became a staff cartoonist at ''The Village Voice'', where he produced the weekly comic strip titled ''Feiffer'' until 1997. His cartoons became nationally syndicated in 1959 and then appeared regularly in publications including the ''Los Angeles Times'', the ''London Observer'', ''The New Yorker'', ''Playboy'', ''Esquire'', and ''The Nation''. In 1997, he created the first op-ed page comic strip for ''The New York Times'', which ran monthly until 2000.
Feiffer wrote more than 35 books, plays, and screenplays. His first of many collections of satirical cartoons, ''Sick, Sick, Sick,'' was published in 1958, and his first novel, ''Harry, the Rat With Women'', in 1963. In 1965, he wrote ''The Great Comic Book Heroes'', the first history of the comic-book superheroes of the late 1930s and early 1940s and a tribute to their creators. In 1979, Feiffer created his first graphic novel, ''Tantrum''. By 1993, he began writing and illustrating books aimed at young readers, with several of them winning awards.
Feiffer began writing for the theater and film in 1961, with plays including ''Little Murders'' (1967), ''Feiffer's People'' (1969), and ''Knock Knock'' (1976). He wrote the screenplay for ''Carnal Knowledge'' (1971), directed by Mike Nichols, and ''Popeye'' (1980), directed by Robert Altman. At the time of his death, he was working on a visual memoir.
