Joe Zabel

For Ohio native Joe Zabel, art and storytelling have always been intertwined. Inspired at an early age by the art of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, Joe studied cartooning and went on to do comix illustrations for American Splendor, a self-published mystery comic The Trespassers, and graphic novels for the webcomics site Modern Tales. More recently, Joe has focused on bite-sized flash fiction, jumbo-sized stretched canvases, and digital illustrations for Story Shack. See Joe’s fiction on Wattpad.
