David Lasky is the creator of Boom Boom, Urban Hipster, Don’t Forget This Song, and more.

He has worked as an artist, colorist, co-writer, and teacher for many years. Lasky moved to Seattle in the early 90s, soon becoming part of a circle of young self-publishing cartoonists like Ed Brubaker, Jason Lutes, Jon Lewis, Megan Kelso, and Tom Hart. In 1993 he received a Xeric Grant to self-publish Boom Boom, which pushed the boundaries of comics, blending graphic form with history and surreal cartography. Throughout his career Lasky worked to revitalize over- and under-used comics genres and tropes with the spirit of early alternative comix. Lasky won an Eisner Award for Don’t Forget This Song, a graphic biography of The Carter Family, and has been nominated for multiple Ignatz Awards.
