One in particular has taken the financial world executive and provided an inside look at today's wheelers and dealers. Josh Neufeld, the artist for Titans of Finance, provides comic book caricatures of some of these powerful executives. He partnered with writer, R. Walker, a journalist who worked for the New York Times magazine, Fortune and Money. He covered the financial press and was struck by the eccentric characters one hears about in the world of finance, said Neufeld. Walker collected eight executive stories and documented their rise and fall in Titans of Finance.
All stories use real names and are based on press accounts.
Among the executives is a now famous CEO of Marvel who took the comic giant to the road of almost bankrupcy. This is a way to show their human foibles and weaknesses. The autobiographical genre is also one which has intrigued and challenged creators. His stories tell of apartment hunting, roommate situations, sharing walls in a big city and drug experimentation. They take the reader from childhood to the age of 30.
