As well as being a super guy, Mr. Stasi is an accomplished comic book artist with credits at DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Charlton Comics, NOW Comics (Twilight Zone), Eclipse, Disney, Warner Bros. (Looney Tunes & Tiny Toons for Steven Spielberg) and LucasFilms/STAR WARS. Rick also contributes to Wonder Woman Day, an annual charity event that supports shelters for abused women and children.

Rick has taught comics, sequential art and storyboarding courses for more that twenty years, as an instructor with the Shawnee Mission School District, The Westport School of Art and The Kansas City Art Institute. He currently gives individual instruction and career counseling.

A true renaissance man, Rick Stasi is also an accomplished author and performer. His first non-comics related publishing venture, a book of original poetry and musings titled Funny You Should Ask! is in its second printing.

Currently, he is working on an animated version of this work. He is also a voice talent.

Rick has recently launched his own YouTube channel, Ninth Street Theatre Presents, Playhouse of the Mind featuring his spoken word performances and graphic design.

Most of all Mr. Rick Stasi has been a Wichita fan favorite since the 1980’s and we are thrilled to have him back with us here in the mighty ICT! Shazam!
