For the DC Comics imprint Factoid Books, in the 1990s, he did biographical comics on everything from Erich von Stroheim to Prince Charles and Princess Diana. In Outrageous Tales From the Old Testament he tackled a version of the Book of Leviticus written by Alan Moore, and in The Seven Deadly Sins, depicted " Envy". Square-bound books written by others, such as You Are Maggie Thatcher and Hard To Swallow, showcase Emerson strips and illustrations throughout. The latter two stories spawned a series called Citymouth, and later a collected volume. Dogman, and Large Cow Comix (a five issue series with separate subtitles) were all Emerson work cover to cover, but it was Knockabout Comics, a British comic book-sized, and later album-sized, anthology that featured some of Emerson's most notable strips, including the characters Alan Rabbit, Calculus Cat, Max Zillion & Alto Ego, Pusspuss, Momo and Fuzi, Charlie Chirp, plus the one-shot stories "Cakes And Bricks," "The Dentist," and "Mouth City". Emerson's art also appeared in the US underground/alternative anthologies Commies from Mars and Eclipse Monthly. His earliest strips in the 1970s appeared in such British small press comics as Graphixus, Brainstorm Comix, Moon Comix, Yikes, Animal Bite Comix, No Ducks, Phobos, Streetcomix, Free Comix, Warrior and Fish.Ī trip to the US put Emerson in touch with the underground comix publisher Rip Off Press, which published his Thunderdogs title while Don and Maggie Thompson included him in their mini-comic series, for which he created Calculus Cat. His many comic strips and graphic novels have been translated into numerous languages. He was closely involved with the Birmingham Arts Lab of the mid-to-late 1970s, and with the British underground comics scene of the 1970s and 1980s. Hunt Emerson (born 1952) is a cartoonist living and working in Birmingham, England.
