The Mad Peck (born c. 1942 in New York City) is an American underground cartoonist, rock poster artist, and disc jockey.
Graduating from Brown in 1967, in the intervening years he also attended New York University and the Rhode Island School of Design.
[citation needed] His comix work first appeared in 1969 in underground newspapers like the East Village Other and the Chicago Seed.
In the late 1960s/early 1970s Peck fell in with other Providence countercultural types, including writer Les Daniels and comedian Martin Mull.
[1] By the mid 1970s, The Mad Peck was creating a regular comic which ran monthly in Creem, and also plugged products in a bizarre pop culture mish-mash similar to some of Bill Griffith's Zippy the Pinhead work.
