About the Book
William Harroff's snowglobe bookworks were awarded a prestigious National Endowment for the Arts in 1991. These iconic pieces will anger, titillate and fascinate the reader. My professional life of putting words and pictures together has taken me on adventures around the world. My work was included in the Smithsonian Institution’s Visual Artists Fellowship Archive at the National Museum of American Art. I have studied and taught with some of the finest book artists including Ed Hutchins, Richard Minsky, Gary Frost, Robert Smith, Susan King, Audrey Niffenegger, Julie Chen and Hedi Kyle. As co-founder of the (r)Evolutionary (e)Books Press, I keynoted at the Guadalajara Book Fair and CAMEX, the American College Bookstore Association’s Expo. In addition, I received the Frank B. Sessa Scholarship, the Governor’s International Exchange Program Grant (along with other Illinois Arts Council and NEA awards), Art Matters and Women’s Studio Workshop grants, a Ragdale Foundation residency and top honors in several international art competitions. I hold degrees with Highest Distinction from Purdue University, Indiana University and the Internationale Sommerakademie fur Bildende Kunst in Austria. My books are included the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Experimental Arts Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the New York Public Library, among many others. I have held faculty positions at Southern Illinois, Oklahoma State and McKendree Universities.

In 1958, I joined the Supermen of America. I have done my best to pursue Truth, Justice and the American Way ever since. I was awarded the 1st Marvelmaniac-of-the-Month award in 1969 by Mark Evanier and a coveted No-Prize by Stan Lee soon after. I have taught manga at Technos University in Tokyo; illustration at Oskar Kokoschka’s School of Vision in Salzburg; and lectured on creating comics around the world. I have also studied with leading illustrators such as Germany’s Luis Murschetz, as well as current comic greats, Christopher Moeller, Scott McCloud and Matt Kindt.
