Wes Alexander, 1966-2008
Wesley Alexander, the creator of the strip
Stormfield and the co-editor and publisher of
In Toon, died on March 18th
according to Editor & Publisher. He was 42 years old. His passing may have been first announced
in a public forum at Alan Gardner's
Daily Cartoonist almost a week ago, as a comment about the closure of Alexander's syndicate, DBR Media.
According to this interview reprinted on the NCS Great Lakes chapter web site, the Texas-born Alexander began in cartoon illustration in 1988 in southern Florida, about the same time he began developing what would become
Stormfield. He moved to Utah and then eventually in Ohio.
Stormfield began with DBR in 2000, making it an early offering of that syndicate. In
this November 2006 interview with Jen Contino at the
Pulse, Alexander claimed 450 clients.
Jamie Coville writes in to add additional credits: Wes also had
Stormfield in
Comics Library International, Vol. 3 (2000) to Vol. 6 (2001). These were trade paperbacks filled with kids comics. He also had
Stormfield collected into a little comic booklet in 2005."
