MOTTER Dean
Comics Interview, 39, 1986: 77.
Born 1953 in Cleveland Ohio U.S.A.
He moved to Toronto. He was editor of Andromeda volume 2 published by Andromeda Publications Ltd. from September 1977 through to November 1979. It was at this time that he wrote “The Scared and the Profane” which Ken Steacy illustrated. It first appeared in Star Reach issue 9, June 1977 and finished in issue 13, August 1978. In Star Reach issue 14, August 1978 there was a short story of another mission. The book version appeared in 1987.
In 1982 he worked for a book publisher and taught at the Ontario College of Art.
He became art director for CBS Records Canada then founded Diagram Studios and later Modern Imageworks. He achieved a reputation for cover design and promotional graphics for acts like Liona Boyd, The Diodes, The Irish Rovers, Loverboy, The Nylons, Jane Siberry and Triumph. In 1983 he won a Juno Best Album Graphics Award for his record album cover design on the Anvil album Metal on Metal. . He had had two previous nominations: one being in 1982. The following year (1984) he won this award again along with Jeff Jackson and Deborah Samuel for his work on the Nylons album Seamless. In 1985, he won a CASBY Award for his cover design for Jane Siberry’s album No Borders Here, and the Toronto Art Director Club award for Best of the 80’s Album Cover Honeymoon Suite.
His conception for “Mister X” and “Radiant City.” first appeared in1984 on the cover of the Visions of Our Future album by The Tenants. The cover was nominated for a Juno Award. It is likely that by that time Dean’s concept had already been picked up by Vortex Comics Inc. and here the story becomes a bit murky. It appears that the initial serial was written by Dean and illustrated by Paul Rivoche. However it seems that Bill Marks owner of Vortex worried that the periodical wouldn’t sell unless it had big name authors and so he scrapped the original work and hired the Hernandez brothers to put their talents and their reputation to the project. The first four issues which do not look much different from Love and Rockets were done by them. Then Dean regained control of the writing and worked with a variety of collaborators including Gregory Gallant (Seth). Dean’s involvement with Vortex ended with Mister X, v.1, number 12, January 1988, although he continued to develop the concept on his own the results appearing in several books.
In 1988, he co-wrote and illustrated Shattered Visage for DC Comics based on Patrick McGoohan’s 1960s British television series The Prisoner. The following year he created the logo and basic cover design for DC’s Piranha Press imprint.
He moved to New York City in 1990.

MOSHER Christopher Terry
Was It Good For You? 2012: Back cover.
“A political cartoon diagnoses the disease. It should not presume to prescribe the cure.” The Hecklers: 227.
Mosher was born November 11, 1942 in Ottawa.
He studied art at Toronto’s Central Technical School and the Ontario College of Art. For two years he hitchhiked across North America supporting himself most of the time by sketching people in bars and taverns. In 1965 he enrolled in L’École des beaux-arts in Québec City. During the summer he was among the young artists who congregated on the Rue du Trésor near the Chateau Frontenac to sell sketches and paintings to tourists. This is where Mosher began to caricature for profit and where he did his first political cartoon – a drawing of Lyndon Johnson produced on order to a tourist from Boston. Mosher signed his daughter’s name Aislin to the caricature apparently because he wanted to save his own name for his serious drawing and painting. However, this became the nom de plume that he has ever since used for his editorial cartoons. After graduating he freelanced for several student and underground publications in Montreal. He joined the Montreal Star as a staff cartoonist in 1969 and The Gazette in 1972 where he alternated with fellow cartoonist John Collins on the editorial page.
He won Canadian National Newspaper Awards in 1977 and 1978 and at 43 was the youngest member inducted into the Canadian News Hall of Fame. He was awarded first prize for political cartooning at the 1970 International Salon of Caricature and Cartoon. In 1978, he was flown from Montréal to Vancouver as witness for the deference in the libel trial of Bob Bierman, cartoonist, who was being sued by Municipal Affair Minister, Bill Vander Zalm.
Mosher has freelanced for many other publications including Punch, The Atlantic Monthly, Harpers, The National Lampoon, The Washington Star and the New York Times. He has done three covers for TIME magazine and his work has been published in at least two dozen books including The Hecklers: A History of Political Cartooning (1978), The Anglo Guide to Survival in Quebec (1983), Drawing Bones: 15 Years of Cartooning Brian Mulroney (1991), Hysterically Historical Rhymes (1996) and One Oar in The Water (1997).
A baseball enthusiast, he is a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America and a jury member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. He has also drawn interpretive sketchbooks of his travels in Russia, Northern Ireland and North Africa.
In 1993 Aislin became the first artist to have his cartoons denounced by an MP in the House of Commons (Hon Bob Layton, PC Member for Lachine, Québec) as “a crime against fundamental Canadian values of decency and mutual respect.”
In 1997 he and his counterpart at La Presse, Serge Chapleau, were honoured by the McCord Museum in Montréal with a major joint exhibition.
He is considered one of Canada’s leading newspaper editorial cartoonists.
On 8 October 2021, Canada Post Corp. honoured him with a first day cover and a commemorative stamp.
