Box Brown (born Brian Brown 1980) is an American cartoonist whose first work was the online comic Bellen!.[1]
He was awarded in 2011 a Xeric Grant for the comic Love is a Peculiar Type of Thing.[2]


In 2011, Brown started a Kickstarter fundraiser[3] to create a new publisher called Retrofit Comics, with the goal of publishing 16 alternative comic books over 16 months.[4] Since completing this goal, Retrofit Comics has continued to publish new comic books every month or two.


Brown created a full-length graphic novel about the professional wrestler André the Giant called André the Giant: Life and Legend. It debuted as ninth bestseller on the New York Times Bestseller List for Paperback Graphic Books and remained on the list for three weeks.[5]
