Danny Hellman Biography

Danny Hellman is one of the most popular and richest Cartoonist who was born on August 2, 1964 in Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany. Danny Hellman (born August 2 1964) is an American freelance cartoonist and illustrator. In 1989 and since then, the artwork have been published in magazines like Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal as well as others. In addition, his comic book illustrations have been published on DC Comics publications.

In the 90s Hellman was commissioned to draw for the art director Michael Gentile at New York Press and later continued with Gentile as the art director moving to Habitat as well as the local publications The Village Voice, and Guitar World. Hellman was later a cartoonist for national publications, including Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal and FHM.

He went on to draw comics for a variety of alternative comics publishers, as well as an Aquaman story for DC Comics’ Bizarro World, and several one-page strips for The Big Book of series of trade paperbacks for the DC imprint Paradox Press. Other comics work includes Hotwire, Mad, Last Gasp Comics & Stories #1-5 (1994–1997), and Fantagraphics’ Spicecapades (Spring 1999).

Hellman has been described as a “veteran prankster”. Following an August 3, 1999 Village Voice cover story criticizing Maus author Art Spiegelman by editorial cartoonist Ted Rall, Hellman created an email list called “[email protected]” and sent a satirically self-agrandizing letter entitled “Ted Rall’s Balls”, impersonating Rall, to at least 35 cartoonists and editors, including one former employer of Rall. Rall eventually retaliated by filing a lawsuit, claiming among other things, libel, lost employment opportunities and emotional distress, and asking damages of US$ 1.5 million. Eventually four of Rall’s five claims were dismissed, leaving only libel per se. As of February 2005, the case had not gone to trial.

In the late 90s Hellman created his own minicomics. These included Coffee Drinkin’Man, (written by his buddy, East Village painter Geoff Gilmore) and the first Version of Legal Action Comics, which used his comics to reprint strips from Screw which mocked Superman, The Simpsons, and The Cosby Show; and Peaceful Atom and the Mystery Mice.
