John Linton Roberson (born in Kingstree, South Carolina, January 22, 1969), also known as JLRoberson, is an underground cartoonist and writer currently based in Seattle, Washington.[1]
An alumnus of DePaul University, Roberson self-published the quarterly anthology Plastic[2] from 1998-2001 under his Bottomless Studio imprint, contributing Vitriol[3], a 12-chapter black comedy. The magazine also featured work by Sam Henderson, amongst other contributors. From 1999-2001 he created several strips for the San Francisco web magazine Spark-Online, usually under the title Slash & Burn.[4]
In early 2003, he was editor, publisher, and one of 26 contributors to the comics anthology Working for the Man, a benefit book published in e-book format for William Messner-Loebs. The collection contains an introduction by Gary Groth as well as work by Sam Kieth, Steve Bissette, Ted Rall, Donna Barr, and P. Craig Russell.[5]
In Summer 2004, he directed the premiere of his comedy Suspension of Disbelief in Chicago for Theatre O' the Absurd. [6]
Roberson created the characters Vladrushka and Rosa & Annalisa for the adult comics publisher Eros Comix, now serializing their adventures in This Sickness[7] at Adultwebcomics.com, and in a print comic of the same name.[8] He has also collaborated with a number of writers, including Charles Alverson.[9]
