Brian "Box" Brown brings history and culture to life through his comics. In his next graphic novel, he unravels how marketing targeting children in the 1980s is shaping adults in the present day.
Brown is a favorite artist & author known for his trio of 1980's nonfiction nostalgia graphic novels; Andre the Giant, (a NYT bestseller), Tetris, and Is This Guy for Real.
In his recent nonfiction works, Cannabis, Accidental Czar (with writer Andrew S. Weiss), and Legalization Nation (a nationally syndicated comic strip), Brown has shifted his focus towards serious subjects, often shedding light on how people in power manipulate the disenfranchised. The He-Man Effect continues in that trajectory.Brian "Box" Brown is an Eisner Award–winning author whose comics have appeared in the New York Times, Playboy, and New York magazine. His books include the New York Times–bestselling Andre the Giant: Life and Legend, Tetris: The Games People Play, Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman, Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America, Child Star, and Accidental Czar (with writer Andrew S. Weiss). boxbrown.com
