Born in New Jersey in 1984, Noah has lived in Arizona, Colorado and Vermont. Now in Ohio, he will soon be moving to North Carolina.
\nFrom a numerous, modest, mormon, one-parent family, Noah Van Sciver shares with one of his favourite fictional character, Fante Bukowski<\/em>, the strong desire to be renowned for his work. First he meets his elder by 20 years, the inevitable John Porcellino, with whom he\u2019ll be going around librairies selling and buying comic books. Is there a better way to learn the job… We guess not.
\nHis career begins with his self-publishing of Blammo<\/strong> in 2006. The comics are, at first, distributed by hand in Denver\u2019s surroundings. Since its fifth issue, in 2009, it is published by Kilgore Books<\/em>, an independant label and library from Denver. 2018 saw published issue number 10.
\nIn 2007, he starts a comic-strip called 4 Questions<\/strong> for Westword<\/em>. He\u2019ll be writing for this magazine from Denver until it stopped in 2016. We can see his work appearing at many publishers since 2011, such as Mad Magazine, The Comics Journal, Mome<\/em> and Mineshaft<\/em>. Since then, led by an enormous production rythm with wide range thematics (autobiography, historical narrations, fictions, weekly comics), his work has been published by various editors, small and big ones, including Fantagraphics<\/em>, while (still) self-publishing many stories. His story Abby\u2019s road,<\/strong> first published in Blammo<\/strong> #6, appears in the 2012\u2019s issue of the anthology The Best american Comics<\/em>.
\nFrom 2015 to 2016 he had a fellowship at the Center for Cartoon Studies<\/em> (CCS) in Vermont (U.S.A), where, among other things, he met Chuck Forsman (author of The end of the fucking world<\/em>).
\nSince a couple of years, we can read his work in Europe as well. His Fante Bukowski<\/strong> has been tranlated into french (at L\u2019Employ\u00e9 du Moi)<\/em> and italian (at Fandango Editore<\/em>). Far from neglecting small publishers, Noah Van Sciver also collaborates to Bento,<\/em> a french graphic magazine published by Radio as Paper<\/em>.<\/p>\n
