Who is Justin Bastard Sane?

Justin Bastard Sane is an American comic book creator, film director, puppeteer and animator. His comic books are done in a silhouette style reminiscent of early film and his movies feature sex, violence and satirical humor.

His two-part comic Heart of a Corpse is the nearly-silent story of a depressed young mortician's daughter and her deceased fiance, who rises from his grave nightly due to a heart that never managed to decompose. It is published by Slave Labor Graphics. Bloody Dreadful, an ongoing horror anthology, is now running, also published by SLG.

His second full graphic novel, Professor M: Inspector of the Spectral is nearing completion. A release date has not yet been announced.

Most well known of his short films is Teddy Bears' Picnic that appeared in Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, Sane has also directed eight other shorts, including a sock monkey porno, a shockingly bloody 1950s television satire and an absurdist "cartoon" about philosophical, and accident-prone, mice.
