Michael McMillan was born in Pasadena. While attending San Francisco State University for a master’s degree in sculpture in the late 1960s, he saw an exhibition by the Hairy Who at the Art Institute of San Francisco. That exhibit, together with Zap Comix, spurred his career as a comic book artist. He went on to produce his comic book debut, Terminal Comics, and contributed to publications throughout the 1970s such as Young Lust, Arcade, Weirdo, and Lemme Outa Here. A fine artist as well as a cartoonist, McMillan has worked in many mediums over the course of his career, including film, animation, sculpture, and printmaking, which he currently pursues full-time. McMillan lives in the Bay Area.
