Brian Bram

Brian Bram (born May 9, 1955, in Chicago), raised in Deerfield, Illinois, played a minor role in the underground comix movement with his contributions to American Splendor, the comic book series written and published by Harvey Pekar and, more recently, with his work with author Jonathan Baylis on his autobiographical comic series, So...Buttons.

According to the Comiclopedia,[2] underground cartoonist Jay Lynch introduced him to Pekar who hired him to illustrate stories in the first issue of American Splendor.

Bram contributed to the first two issues of American Splendor, along with artists Gary Dumm, Greg Budgett, and Robert Crumb.

In 1983 Bram produced and hosted[4] an all-night movie program (All Night Live) on WUHF (Channel 31; then an independent station; now part of the Fox network).

In addition to movies, the program was a forum for local bands including Personal Effects, The Degrads, and Cousin Al and the Relatives.
