Son of the legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode, Mark Bode further channels and expands the "family style" through his own drawings, graffiti-inspired murals, tattoo work, and animations. Combining his father's iconic figures, such as the Cheech Wizard and Cobalt 60, with his own variations and original characters, he creates artwork distinctly inspired by both past and present comic universes. Watch the interview from "The Run Up," available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.
I came so close to meeting Vaughn but in a way he sent Mark to me and I am forever grateful. Now I am fortunate to see his son break into a new level of creativity. Cobalt 60 is coming back!

Gone but never forgotten. One of the highlights of my publishing career was when I got a hand drawn postcard from Vaughn and published it in Realm 5 (1972). It's true he burned so brightly but for such a short time. --Artie Romero
