Rob Maisch, 19XX-2008
ComicMix reports through the artist Bo Hampton that
the writer Rob Maisch passed away in the small town of Copley, Ohio earlier this week. Copley is a small satellite town for Akron. The cited cause was cardiac problems.
Maisch was a writer in the Harvey Pekar tradition of doing short stories drawn from various periods in his life and then illustrated by a variety of artists. The first volume of
Confessions of a Cereal Eater! included stories illustrated by both artist Hamptons, Bo and Scott. A subsequent volume published in 2003 found Maisch in partnership with the artists in a "Getting Published" class in the Sequential Art Department at Savannah College of Art & Design. The first volume was one of the better received volumes of the mid-1990s, garnering both Eisner and Harvey nominations. The series was published by NBM.
