Alex Robinson grew up in Yorktown Heights, New York, and graduated from Yorktown High School in 1987.
After a year spent at State University of New York Brockport, he went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he studied under Will Eisner, Sal Amendola, Gahan Wilson, and Carmine Infantino. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in cartooning in 1993.
Robinson"s first major work was Box Office Poison, originally serialized by Antarctic Press and then collected into graphic novel form in 2001 by Top Shelf Productions. Box Office Poison concerns the life and trials of a group of young people in New York City (the central protagonist works in a bookstore, a job Robinson himself held for seven years)
Robinson"s second graphic novel, Tricked, also published by Top Shelf, was released in August 2005, and both Box Office Poison and Tricked have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and German. In October 2007 Alex Robinson"s Lower Regions was released, a 56-page comic about "a sexy barbarian fighting monsters." Two sequels are planned for the coming years.
His next graphic novel, Too Cool to Be Forgotten, a time travel/high school story, was published by Top Shelf in July 2008.
His most recent book is called A Kidnapped Santa Claus. lieutenant is adapted from a Frank L. Baum story and was released by Harper-Collins in November 2009.
Along with Mike Dawson, Tony Consiglio, and a few other cartoonists, Robinson is part of a loosely associated comics collective called The Ink Panthers. They also have a podcast called "The Ink Panthers Show" available on iTunes.
Alex also has a podcast with Pete "The retailer" Bonavita called Star Wars Minute where they analyze and criticize the Star Wars movies one minute at a time. www.starwarsminute.com
His newest book "Our Expanding Universe" is scheduled to be released in November 2015.
