Terry LaBan

A self-named creation stepping straight out of the early-'90s Fantagraphics underground, Terry LaBan debuted in Unsupervised Existence #7 in 1992 — a product of that fertile Copper/Modern Age moment when alternative comics were pushing boundaries and celebrating singular voices. Appearing across Cud and Cud Comics alongside an offbeat cast including Plum, Eno, and Seymour Riverpeace, this character inhabits the quirky, intimate world that made Fantagraphics a home for genuinely idiosyncratic storytelling. With a modest but devoted footprint of 12 catalog appearances across a mid-'90s run, Terry LaBan is the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards fans who love digging into the weirder, more personal corners of alternative comics history.
