Nat Gertler (born April 30, 1965) is an American writer known for his comic books and his books about comics. He is the author of books about Schulz's Peanuts, and runs an Internet site that sells memorabilia associated with the comic strip. Gertler is the publisher of About Comics, and founded an annual cartoonists' challenge, 24 Hour Comics Day.
He was nominated twice for the Eisner Award.
Gertler was raised in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, Simsbury, Connecticut, and Riverton, New Jersey. At 14, he attended Bard College at Simon's Rock, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts four years later. Wanting to pursue a comic-book career, he began writing in his spare time while working for Avant-Garde Computing in New Jersey, writing Z-80 assembly language code.
His first comic-book story, the six-page backup feature "The Visit", appeared in First Comics' Grimjack #57 (cover-dated April 1989). He went on to publish horror-comics stories in Hamilton Comics' Dread of Night and Grave Tales in 1991, and through the 1990s did work for the independent publisher Comic Zone Productions, WaRP Graphics, and Caliber Press, and an issue of Blood Syndicate for DC Comics' Milestone Comics imprint. For Image Comics, he wrote stories for Big Bang Comics #7–8 (Dec. 1996 – Jan. 1997).
