Michael Terry Gilbert (1951 - ?) is a comic book artist and writer for both ground-level and underground comic book categories. He graduated from SUNY at New Paltz in 1973, and had his first comic stories printed that same year (in his self-published underground, New Paltz Comix.) He began drawing for several Star Reach and Kitchen Sink titles; a mix of underground comix (Slow Death, Bizarre Sex, American Splendor by Harvey Pekar) and ground-level comics such as Star*Reach and Quack!. He also did script and artwork on Aardvark's Strange Brew, Tiny Terror Tales and Wraith (a parody of the famous Will Eisner character The Spirit. In the mid-eighties he was a speaker at the Starwood Festival, run by the Association for Consciousness Exploration, and through them was the first professional comic-book artist to offer classes to the Neo-Pagan community. (He also contributed to their magazine, Changeling Times.)
He worked on the celebrated Elric series with P. Craig Russell, and is best known as the creator of Mr. Monster, which has been published by Pacific Comics, Eclipse Comics and Dark Horse Comics since 1984. He has also worked on Rat Hater, Mr. V., Wacky Squirrel and Fantagraphics' Critters and Prime Cuts. In recent years he's written or drawn characters as diverse as Superman, Batman, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. He has been a scriptwriter for Disney comics since 1990, as has his wife Janet Gilbert. He has written and drawn Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, which reflects, in a very creative way, on sixty years of Batman adventures.
