Born in Buffalo NY, Burden grew up in the
industrial rust belt of the great Northeast. After 20 years of
Buffalo, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Akron and Sharon,
Pensylvania, he moved south to Atlanta, where he has lived for the
last 20 years. In 1976, Bob graduated from University Of Georgia in
Athens, with a degree in Journalism and minors in Advertising and
Political Science.
Over the years, Flaming Carrot
has garnered some scholarly recognition: a cover story and interview
in Atlanta's prestigious ART PAPERS; an original cover drawing
in Sotheby's art auction; and reviews in the Village Voice
literary supplement. Flaming Carrot even once popped up as a question
on Jeopardy.
Besides Flaming Carrot Comics
and Mysterymen, Burden wrote an award-winning GUMBY story, a
two-part CHOLLY & FLYTRAP story with Arthur Suydam, and Robot
Comics, a series which was reprised in the ROBOT CRIME story for
the 20th anniversary of a Heavy Metal. For an example of
Burden's prose work, there is all short story called "You've Got
Your Troubles, I've Got Mine", an anthology of short stories by
various writers, including Stephen King, called "Dark
Love" from Penguin Books.
Burden's works have won numerous awards
including the Ignatz Award, the Inkpot Award for Outstanding
Achievement in Comic Arts, the ACE award, and perhaps the most
prestigious award in comics, the Will Eisner Comics Industry Award for
the Best Single Issue (Gumby's Summer Fun Special). Currently,
Burden has two 1998 Eisner Award Nominations for Invincible Man
and Flaming Carrot's Greatest Hits Volume Three.
