John Gaunt

A late Bronze Age creation from the fertile indie comics scene of 1985, John Gaunt made his debut in Joshua Quagmire's Army Surplus Komikz Featuring Cutey Bunny — one of those wonderfully offbeat Fantagraphics titles that defined the alternative comics spirit of the era. With appearances spanning an impressive 26 years and pages shared with cult favorites like GrimJack and Reuben Flagg, Gaunt clearly moved in some of the most interesting independent comics circles of his time. His catalog footprint may be small, but it includes a collector-recognized key issue, making him a genuine hidden gem for fans who love digging into the rich, scrappy world of '80s indie publishing.
