Best known as the creator of Ren & Stimpy and Sody Pop, Kricfalusi began his comics career in 1994 as a cover artist for Warrior Publications' Hero Illustrated.  In 1995, he began Spumco Comic Book from Marvel Comics as both a writer and penciller.  Moving the series to Dark Horse Comics in 1995, Kricfalusi introduced characters such as George Liquor and Jimmy the Idiot Boy.  The series only lasted for three issues and ceased publication in 1997.  John K Presents Spumco Comic Book collects these early Kricfalusi comics as well. Kricfalusi's last comics work appeared in TwoMorrows' Draw! magazine in 2003.
