Jay Edwards for WRNJ reports that the Joe Kubert School, famous for teaching future professional comic artists the ways and hows of that career, has been integrated into the County College of Morris curriculum.
RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Morris County) — County College of Morris has acquired The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, bringing the internationally recognized institution for comic and graphic storytelling education to its Randolph campus beginning this fall.
The Joe Kubert School’s specialized Cartoon and Graphic Art program will continue to operate as part of CCM through the college’s Center for Workforce Development.
“For five decades, The Joe Kubert School has been dedicated to helping artists turn their love of art into a profession,” said Anthony Marques, president of The Joe Kubert School. “We are thrilled to be a part of the CCM community and continue guiding students as they develop their craft and prepare for careers in the commercial art industries. By combining our specialized art education with CCM’s many resources, we can create even more opportunities for our students to succeed. It’s an exciting new chapter in the Joe Kubert School’s history and we can’t wait to see what our students accomplish.”
The School has turned out a long list of artists who became famous comic creators. A few who are occasionally mentioned here would include Stephen Bissette, the current Cartoon Laureate of Vermont, and comic strip artists Jim Keefe (Flash Gordon, Sally Forth) and Thomas Yeates (Prince Valiant, Zorro, Tarzan).
