I first met Buzz when I became the Editor in Chief for Personality Comics. He was “the first artist that the owners introduced me to. We met at his house and while I was there I had the chance to look over his portfolio. The word amazing is an understatement! Buzz is by far one of the most talented artists I have ever met. I would compare him to Mozart for shear drawing and creative ability. Buzz can create the most amazing images with something as simple as a ball point pen. Over the years we became very good friends and it is always great to run into him at the cons. If you were around in the 90’s then you would know that Buzz throws the BEST parties at conventions!”

-Kirk Lindo

Buzz was born and raised in Rangoon, Burma growing up reading his father’s comics from his childhood. After moving to the United States at the age of 13, Buzz began his career as a penciler at the age of 15 at Blackthorne Publications. Later, working with Neal Adams’ Continuity Studios at the age of 17. After gaining some good experience and mentoring, he took some pages to DC and received assignments working on Justice League Quarterly and Justice League International.

Since that initial foray into comics, Buzz’s style has graced the pages of titles including JSA, Vampirella, Shi, X-Factor, Impulse, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and many others. He is currently working on titles such as Chastity, Cavewoman, Razor and the acclaimed Atomika series. Buzz’s rendition of Spiderman was featured in a special artist portfolio that appeared in Spiderman 2 deluxe DVD.

Among his influences are Neal Adams, Michael Golden, John Buscema, Kevin Nowlan, Brian Bolland, Frank Frazetta, Alex Toth and too many more to mention. Buzz’s current favorite artists include Adam Hughes, Rags Morales and Alex Ross. “I don’t ever see myself wanting to not be working in the comics industry, it’s one of the greatest American art forms like jazz and baseball” says Buzz.
