Clifford Meth
The pen is mightier than the sword but sometimes I use my fists.

Own Dave Cockrum's Comics

I'm overseeing the sale of Dave Cockrum's collection and file copies for his Estate. Sales directly benefit Dave's widow. Interested? Click here.

ONE SMALL VOICE

My newest collection of short fiction, One Small Voice (IDW Publishing) is now available. Cover by NEAL ADAMS, introduction by ROY THOMAS, and art by JEFF JONES, GENE COLAN, ALEX TOTH and DAVE COCKRUM. You can order it from most online booksellers but Tower Books seems to have the best price.

SNAKED

SNAKED #3 hits comic shops on Feb. 13. Is this political horror series the most controversial book that IDW Publishing has ever unleashed? You bet.

SNAKED Graphic Novel

SNAKED Graphic Novel
available in June from IDW

Eye of the Beholder

Meth is a dangerous writer. He doesn’t seem to care if you like him.
Neal Adams

Meth’s writing is fresh and absorbing—clever and replete with surprises.
Stan Lee

Anyone who can give Barry Windsor-Smith a pissy fit is okay in my book.
Joe Staton

The only thing about Cliff’s writing that makes me crazy is the demented titles he puts on them. For a guy who writes as well as he does, and who thinks as deeply as he does, I can’t figure it out!
Harlan Ellison

Clifford Meth is one of dark fiction's best-kept secrets.
Barnes and Noble

Clifford Meth has the touch. Fantasy dark humour and ravishing detail to his characters. Isaac Asimov meets C. S. Lewis meets Beelzebub.
Ian Anderson

Razor sharp dialogue, wonderfully erotic and beautifully said. The meaty characters appear extremely real in front of me.
Jeffrey Jones

Clifford Meth is one of the most brilliant writers of dark fiction out there today.
Bud Plant Comic Art

The way that Meth carefully controls your expectations,then takes an almost sadistic pleasure in messing withyour mind is, artistically speaking, a beautiful thing.
SilverBulletComicBooks.com

Clifford Meth writes like whiskey bites: Deceptively smooth until you realize he’s put you flat on the floor.
David Gerrold

Meth writes in pictures that make me want to draw. This is good stuff!
Joe Kubert

What separate Meth from most writers is his courage to take on sensitive issues. I’d read anything he’s ever written.
Gene Colan

What can I say that hasn’t been said about Meth’s work except the stories areso interesting and original that I’m looking forward to the next collection!
John Buscema

What makes Meth's work special is that it grows out of a unique confluence of outlook, culture, comics and prose.
Walt Simonson

Meth is one of the more intriguing writers of short stories to arrive in recent years. A damned fine writer. He does not write the easy stories.
Tony Isabella / The Comic Buyer’s Guide

Meth’s imagination, integrity and insight are touched by a dark, often perverse humor. It’s always exciting to discover new writers on their way up—and Meth’s course is worth charting.
Jim Steranko

I don’t know how much money the Cockrums got, but having a friend like Clifford Meth is worth more than a million dollars.
John Romita

Cliff’s writing has attitude. While his stories are frequently angry or outrageous, they’re all honest insights into the human psyche.
Dave Cockrum

Meth is a unique and exciting voice--funny, twisted, visionary. His insights into character and culture are often startling and his stories, always entertaining. I am a huge fan.
Richard Saperstein

You write character dialogue like O'Hara & string words together so effortlessly, kiddo. Kudos to you! Love good writing--the stuff so rare in comics & animation, my two vexing venues...I'm ossified, I'm sure, by actually reading top story work.
Alex Toth

Although they're called dark fiction, there's a "real" quality to Clifford Meth's stories that lifts them up and out of his books. And each successive story remains unique enough to make me start another, wondering what he'll come up with next.
Steve Forbert

Clifford Meth knows things. Dark, dank, nasty things... He doesn't scrape away the barnacles covering the hull of human interaction so much as he lifts up the barnacles, describes what's under them, and then puts the barnacles back and walks away with his hands in his pockets, whistling in the dark.
Peter David

Clifford Meth has done more to make the comic book industry better for its creators than has the collective career of many good people working within it. Those who speak much and do little struggle to fathom how some inspire granduer with few words. To them, Clifford Meth is of the unfathomable.
Michael Netzer

[Meth's] work is about the dark side of life, as if he were sculpting beautifully realistic statues while working exclusively in blood and excrement. And then setting them on fire...I'm a huge fan. I read him mouth open and giggling, stunned, amused and aroused.
Bill Messner-Loebs

Meth's writing is dark, relentless and always in your face. It doesn’t make for easy reading, but it is highly emotional and makes you pay attention, which is the best thing a writer can do... He writes from a place others won’t walk.
Marv Wolfman

Saying good things about Clifford Meth is like giving endorsements to Zorro.
Barney Dannelke
