Jerry Moriarty Dies at 88: The Quiet Master Who Brought Painting into Comics Leaves an Enduring Legacy

One of the most original and influential figures in alternative comics, Jerry Moriarty, passed away on March 25, 2026, at the age of 88. Describing himself as a "paintoonist," Moriarty was widely regarded as a pioneer who treated comics not simply as sequential storytelling but as an art form where painting, memory, and visual poetry could coexist. Although he deliberately stayed outside the mainstream throughout his career, his work profoundly influenced generations of cartoonists, illustrators, and graphic novelists.
