Biographic is a weekly comics feature by award-winning cartoonist and illustrator
Each strip is a collage-like assembly of informative text and multiple illustrations of the subject at various stages of his or her career. McGarry's distinctive, stippled realistic style captures the celebrity's likeness.
McGarry has worked on similar strips since 1989. The first one was a United Feature Syndicate strip called Biography, which McGarry took over from John Roman[3] as creator on May 14, 1989.[2] (Biography had debuted with United Feature on June 1, 1986.)[4] Biography lasted until 1991.[5] Then, from 1993 to 1996, McGarry did another similar strip, called Pop Culture, which ran in the British newspaper Today. Finally, in 2005, Universal Press Syndicate launched Biographics.
