Heartburst was straightforward science fiction, while The One was an ambitious and bizarre fantasy-adventure involving monstrous superheroes, the Cold War, and spiritual evolution obvious influences on The One included Alan Moore's Miracleman (for which Veitch illustrated several issues) and Arthur C. His next major project was an adaptation, with Bissette, of the film 1941.ĭuring the 1980s, Veitch became known as a distinctive fantasy artist and writer for Marvel's Epic Comics line, for which he created three graphic novels, Abraxas and the Earthman (serialized in Epic Illustrated), Heartburst (published as a standalone graphic novel) and The One (originally published as a six-issue comic book limited series). Veitch had already made his publishing debut prior to attending the Kubert School: in 1972, he illustrated the horror parody Two-Fisted Zombies (written by his brother Tom Veitch), but this one-shot failed to make a splash in the fading underground comix field of the '70s. Veitch studied cartooning at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, and was in the first class to graduate from the school in 1978, along with his future long-time collaborators Steve Bissette and John Totleben.
