ⓘ About Jamie Smart
Jamie Smart is a very popular comics author from the United Kingdom that is best known for the “Flember” series of novels. He loves to say that while he went to college to study art, he only did it so that he could have an excuse to draw animals with weird eyes. Going to college allowed him to tap into the mental space so that he could better explore and put out some very innovative works. Still, he believes that his biggest influence had to be “Blackadder, The Young Ones,” the TV comedy show from the 1980s. He used to watch the show repeatedly and obsessively and this gave him the sense of humor that he now infuses into his work. James Smart had his first break working with comic book companies when he was contracted by SLG to pen the “Bear” comic book.
