Terry decided to be a cartoonist at the age of 6. He grew up to draw political cartoons and illustrations, create alternative comics series for Fantagraphics Books and Dark Horse comics, and write for DC Vertigo and Disney Egmont, where he spent 14 years writing Donald Duck comics. From 2001 to 2015, Terry and his wife Patty, created the daily comic strip Edge City, which was syndicated by King Features. His first middle grade graphic novel, Mendel the Mess-Up, was published in late 2024. Our author/illustrator visit is generously funded by the MontCo Library District.
For ages 12-18.
