Jay Allen Sanford
Jay Allen Sanford (born February 18, 1960) is an American author and cartoonist best known for his work with Revolutionary Comics, Carnal Comics, and Pacific Comics. He began writing the comic book Rock 'N' Roll Comics (created by Todd Loren) in 1989 as of the title's second issue, and still oversees the rock comic reprints published by Bluewater Productions and others. The publishing company he co-founded, Carnal Comics, is best known for launching the movie and cartoon character Demi the Demoness. Sanford ran Carnal Comics from 1994 through 2000, before handing over the publishing reins to SS Crompton.
Sanford has been a columnist and cartoonist for the San Diego Reader since 1994, writing articles and drawing two weekly comic strips: "Overheard in San Diego" and "Famous Former Neighbors".
Sanford, who grew up in Wallingford, Connecticut and East Lyme, Connecticut, has specialized in creating comic books and strips based on true life incidents and people. Most of the 200 or so reality-based comic books he has created were done for Revolutionary Comics, as well as for Comic Zone (UFO/Alien Encounters, Cult TV), Personality Comics (The Beatles , the Rolling Stones, Star Trek: The Original Crew), Re-Visionary Press (Sexploitation Cinema: A Cartoon History, Triple-X Cinema: A Cartoon History), Celebrity Comics (Elvis Scrapbook), Tower Records (Pulse!), Bluewater Productions (Orbit: the Stan Lee Story, Hard Rock Heroes), and others.
Among the co-creators to work on reality comics with Sanford are Tom Luth, Stuart Immonen, Scott Jackson, Leonard Kirk, Michael Avon Oeming, Aaron Sowd, Todd Loren, Holly Golightly, Pat Broderick, Robert Schnakenberg, Terry Dodson, Greg Fox, Brad W. Foster, Bart Mendoza, Gene Simmons, Jamie Murray, Jim Holliday, William Margold, Jenna Jameson, Marilyn Chambers, Ginger Lynn, Hyapatia Lee, Annie Sprinkle, Robert Williams, and Dick Ayers.
One of his few comic book projects not reality-based is Deepest Dimension Terror Anthology, co-created with Star Trek, Twilight Zone, and Logan's Run writer George Clayton Johnson. Creators whose work appears in the series include Robert Bloch, Larry Niven, Dærick Gröss Sr., Rick Geary, Spain Rodriguez, Dennis Etchison, and others.
After retiring from comic book publishing in 2000, Sanford began freelancing for other publishers and concentrating on multiple comic strips (see below) and writing projects (below). He also teaches specialized courses in comic book marketing, of both properties and creators, as a professor of sequential art at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
In 1993, Sanford launched a multi-page color comic section called Rock Tales, published monthly in Larry Flynt's music periodical RIP magazine and featuring short bios, illustrated interviews, and slice-of-life vignettes starring various rock performers. After RIP ceased publication, Rock Tales began running as a one-page true-stories comic strip on the inside back cover of each issue of Spin (magazine), founded by Flynt rival Bob Guccione Jr., publisher of Penthouse Magazine. Rock Tales appears to have ceased as of the December 2012 issue of Spin (magazine), its final newsstand edition before the print publication was cancelled and the periodical moved to website-only status.
From 1996 to 1997, Sanford headed up another multi-page color comic section called Oui's Carnal Comics, published monthly in Oui magazine, launched in the U.S. by Playboy Enterprises and at the time one of the top selling men's periodicals. The comics frequently included the adventures of Carnal Comics character Demi the Demoness, who later became the first adult comic book character to be featured in a live action film adaptation. After 1997, the Carnal Comics cartoon pullouts occasionally ran in other publications like Hustler Humor, New Rave Magazine, AVN Adult Video News, Adult Cinema Review, Penthouse Magazine, Penthouse Comixxx, and elsewhere.
