- Breve biografia
- Jack Jackson was born in Pandora, Texas. He majored in accounting at the University of Texas and was a staffer for its Texas Ranger humor magazine until he and others were fired over what he called "a petty censorship violation." Soon afterwards, he self-published the one-shot comic God Nose (1964), which is considered by many to be the first underground comic.
Jackson moved to San Francisco in 1966, where he became art director of the dance poster division of Family Dog. In 1969, he co-founded Rip Off Press, one of the first independent publishers of underground comix, with three other Texas transplants, Gilbert Shelton, Fred Todd, and Dave Moriaty. Despite this, most of his underground comics work, heavily influenced by EC Comics, was published by Last Gasp.
Jackson is best known for his historical work documenting the history of Native America and Texas, such as Comanche Moon (1979), El Alamo, Los Tejanos, The Secret of San Saba, Indian Lover: Sam Houston & the Cherokees, and Lost Cause.
Jackson died June 8, 2006, in Stockdale, Texas, in an apparent suicide after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
