Jules Feiffer drew a weekly comic strip for The Village Voice for over four decades, syndicated nationally from 1959 and picked up by The New Yorker, Playboy and other magazines, winning the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1986. He started as a teenage assistant to Will Eisner on The Spirit, later wrote The Great Comic Book Heroes, an early serious history of Depression-era superhero comics, and won an Academy Award for the animated short Munro — a career spanning cartooning, playwriting, screenwriting and children's books that the Library of Congress has formally recognized.
