Peter Bagge is a Harvey Award-winning cartoonist. He remains one of the comics' industry's great crossover successes of the past decade, having sold more comics than any underground cartoonist through the 1990s to the present. After editing R. Crumb's Weirdo magazine in the mid-1980s and then creating the Bradley family within the pages of his first comic book series, Neat Stuff, Bagge decided to take the Bradley's teenage son, Buddy, and move him to Seattle to star in a new series called Hate. The rest is comic book history.
