Who is Box Brown? Well, if you click the link above, you’ll see this:
Box Brown is an Ignatz Award-winning American cartoonist best known for the comic Bellen! and the winner of a Xeric Grant for the comic Love Is a Peculiar Type of Thing. A passionate proponent of the serial comics format, Brown runs the micropress Retrofit, dedicated to supporting independent serial comics’ work. His books include Andre the Giant: Life and Legend. He is also a life-long professional wrestling fan.
