Richard "Rick" Veitch (born May 7, 1951) is an American comic book artist and writer who has worked in mainstream, underground, and alternative comics. He comes from a large Catholic family of six children.
Veitch made his publishing debut in 1972, illustrating the underground comix horror parody Two-Fisted Zombies (published by Last Gasp) written by his brother Tom Veitch, but this one-shot failed to make a splash.
Veitch then studied cartooning at The Kubert School, and was in the first class to graduate from the school in 1978, along with his future long-time collaborators Stephen R. Bissette and John Totleben.
Veitch's next major project was an adaptation of the film 1941 with Bissette.
During the 1980s, Veitch became known as a distinctive fantasy artist and writer for Marvel Comics' Epic Comics line, for which he created three graphic novels, Abraxas and the Earthman serialized in Epic Illustrated; Heartburst published as a standalone graphic novel; and The One originally published as a six-issue comic book limited series. Heartburst was straightforward science fiction, while The One was an ambitious and bizarre fantasy-adventure involving monstrous superheroes, the Cold War, and spiritual evolution. During this period Veitch also contributed numerous self-contained comics short stories to Epic Illustrated.
