Jhonen C. Vasquez (/’d͡ʒoʊ.nɛn ‘væs.kɛz/) (born September 1, 1974) is an American comic book writer, cartoonist, and music video director. He is best known for creating the comic book Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, its spin-off comics Squee! and I Feel Sick, and the Nickelodeon animated series Invader Zim.

Carpe Noctem magazine published early one-page strips featuring Johnny in the early 1990s. In 1995, Slave Labor Graphics began publishing a series of Johnny comics after Vasquez submitted samples of his artwork to them. Vasquez’s first comic, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, ran for seven issues and was collected as a hardcover and a trade paperback book named Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Director’s Cut. The cover features the logo “Z?”, meaning “question sleep”, which appears frequently throughout Vasquez’s work and relates to his characters’ insomnia and his own hypnophobia. The series follows Johnny as he searches for meaning in his life, a quest that frequently leads to the violent deaths of those around him as well as, briefly, his own. A photograph of one of Vasquez’s friends, Leah England, serves as the middle of a portrait collection on the cover for the second issue of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. England also gave Vasquez the inspiration for a filler strip about a child who was dangerously afraid of losing sight of his mother, as well as the notorious “Meanwhile” filler piece in the second issue of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Vasquez’s next project was The Bad Art Collection, a 16-page one-shot comic. He stated that he did the book’s art while he was in high school to discourage classmates from asking him to draw for them.

He has an older brother.

Many of the characters in Vasquez’s cartoons are usually highly geometric and thin, nearly to the point of being stick figures with heavy black outlines. The protagonists in his comics are typically insane characters who live in dysfunctional societies, and whose manias are able to speak through inanimate objects. His storylines tend to follow the basic black comedy formula. His art style is very edgy and eccentric, and smiley faces are often found in his artwork, trying to evoke an ironic sense of happiness in a world of chaos and darkness. Vasquez’s writing often conveys misanthropic and pessimistic themes, often used for the purposes of parody and satire. Several of his works have featured goth characters or depictions of the goth subculture for the purpose of satire. In an interview on the show The Screen Savers in 2005, Vasquez responded to host Kevin Pereira’s comment that fans considered him “a goth king”, saying jokingly, “King, yeah, but not goth… I mean, that’s arrogant.”
