Chip Zdarsky

Chip Zdarsky is the pen name of Steve Murray, a Canadian cartoonist born in 1975 in Edmonton, Alberta, who both writes and draws. He came to notice in 2013 with Sex Criminals, created at Image Comics with Matt Fraction, which won the Eisner Award for best new series. He went on to write for Marvel — Howard the Duck, Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, and a long run on Daredevil from 2019 to 2023 — and for DC, where he wrote Batman from 2022 to 2025. His creator-owned series Public Domain, which he draws himself, began on Substack before Image published it in print.
