Mike Vosburg's comics career began in the 1960s,
when as a teenager he started Masquerader, one of
the first comic book fanzines. 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. He is probably best known for
his work from that period on 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 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.
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".
