About John

Thanks for hitting these pages. This is just some info on me. It’s all pretty shameless and somewhat embarrassing, so I have to apologize in advance. I really don’t look quite as goofy as I do here, uh, I think (I’m the tall one, by the way).

The Official Bio

John Kovalic’s cartoons have appeared everywhere from his hometown WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL (Madison, WI) to the NEW YORK TIMES and DRAGON MAGAZINE. His creations include the sell-out comic book sensation DORK TOWER and “DR. BLINK: SUPERHERO SHRINK,” as well as SNAPDRAGONS, NEWBIES, WILD LIFE, BEACHED, and panel cartoons including MURPHY’S RULES, THE UNSPEAKABLE OAF and others.

A co-founder and co-owner of Out of the Box Games, and a cartoonist for Steve Jackson Games, John has illustrated over 100 games and game supplements, and is at least in part responsible for best-sellers like APPLES TO APPLES, BLINK, MUNCHKIN and CHEZ GEEK.

In his spare time, John searches for spare time.

The Less Official Stuff

Anyhoo, here’s some stuff you may be interested in that I’ll be posting here at some point:

• My Photo Album
• The WMTV interview (NBC Madison)
• The Sequential Tart interview (an E-Zine)
• On-line Chat Logs from various interviews
• Some GREAT games I’ve been lucky enough to work on!

In the meantime you can read about how my wife and I got in the National Enquirer

Also, my ever-suffering wife (with Maude the cat), the lovely and talented JUDITH, is world-famous now that she works at Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know
