Spain Rodriguez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manuel "Spain" Rodriguez (b. 1940, Buffalo, New York) is an underground cartoonist best known for his character Trashman. His experiences on the road with the biker gang the Road Vultures provided inspiration for his work as did his left-wing politics.
Rodriguez studied at the Silvermine Guild Art School. In New York during the late 1960s, he became a contributor to the East Village Other, which published his own comics tabloid, Zodiac Mindwarp (1968).
A founder of the United Cartoon Workers of America, he contributed to numerous underground comics and also drew Salon's continuing graphic story, The Dark Hotel.
