Get the latest newsNoah Van Sciver is the 2015-2016 fellow for The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS). He applied to The Center for Cartoon Studies fellowship to work more on his art skills and plans to create many comics during the year he is here.
Noah has been making comics for 9 years starting with his alternative comic book series Blammo. There have been over 9 issues of this one-man anthology since 2006. In 2007, he started a weekly comic strip, 4 Questions, in the Denver alternative newspaper Westword.

In 2012, Fantagraphics published his first graphic novel. The Hypo is the true story of Abraham Lincoln before he was president, from 1837 to 1842. The book received positive critical praise and made it onto several best-of lists for 2012. Then in 2014, Adhouse Books published Youth is Wasted, a collection of short stories.
In 2012, Noah started a web site, The Expositor, with his friend, Joseph Remnant. The plan was to serialize their next books online together. They have similar aesthetic tastes and influences, so they found that their work presents well together. Noah’s story, Saint Cole, was published in 2015 by Fantagraphics. Saint Cole is about an angry possible-alcoholic who works too much at a pizzeria to support his family and doesn’t want to do it any more.
