David Lasky's Personal Page

Seattle artist David Lasky has been writing and drawing comics for over 20 years. His earliest success was a nine page mini-adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses (self-published). In the 90’s he was known for the solo comic Boom Boom, and then collaborated with Greg Stump on the Harvey-nominated Urban Hipster. His stories have appeared in numerous anthologies over the years, including Kramers Ergot and Best American Comics.

With writer Frank Young, he co-created two graphic novels: Oregon Trail: Road to Destiny and The Carter Family: Don’t Forget This Song (for which they won an Eisner Award in 2013).

As a graphic novel instructor at Richard Hugo House and various other venues in the Seattle area, David has taught comics to countless children and grown-ups.

In 2015, David colored Cece Bell’s graphic novel “El Deafo”, which was named a Newbery Honor Book by the American Library Association.

Working with King County Public Health, he has illustrated the informational comic books “No Ordinary Flu,” and “Survivor Tales.”
