Search - List of Books by Ivan Brunetti

Ivan Brunetti (born Mondavio, Italy, October 3, 1967) is an American cartoonist and comics scholar based in Chicago, Illinois.

Noted for combining blackly humorous taboo-laden subject matter with simplified and exaggerated cartoon drawing styles, Brunetti's best known comic work is collected in his largely autobiographical series Schizo, of which four issues have appeared between 1994 and 2006. Schizo #4 received the 2006 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic of the Year.

He has also produced two collections of gag cartoons, Haw! (2001) and Hee! (2005). He has worked as an illustrator, including cover designs for The New Yorker magazine in 2007 and 2009. His early work includes also the strip "Misery Loves Comedy," which he created for the University of Chicago newspaper The Maroon while a student there. The strip bears no relation to the 2007 Fantagraphics Books collection of the same name, which collects the first three issues of "Schizo" in their entirety, along with additional material contributed to various other publications during the same time period.

In 2005, Brunetti curated The Cartoonist's Eye, an exhibit of 75 artists' work, for the A+D Gallery of Columbia College Chicago. He is also the editor of An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories (2006, Yale University Press). The second and final volume of the anthology was released in October 2008. Brunetti also illustrated the cover of comedian Patton Oswalt's most recent album, My Weakness Is Strong.

He is currently on the faculty of Columbia College Chicago, where he teaches classes on comics, drawing, and design.
