Bhob Stewart (November 12, 1937 – February 24, 2014) was an American writer, editor, cartoonist and filmmaker who contributed to a variety of publications over a span of five decades. His articles and reviews have appeared in TV Guide, Publishers Weekly and other publications, along with online contributions to Allmovie, the Collecting Channel and other sites. In 1980, he became the regular film columnist for Heavy Metal.After 35 years of living with emphysema, Stewart died on February 24, 2014 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Coined the term "underground comics" during a panel discussion at the first major comic book convention of the mid-1960s. Noting the then-familiar usage of the term "underground film," he predicted a similar reaction against the formulaic mainstream would happen in the comics industry. No underground comics existed when he predicted the birth of "underground comics," so no one in the hotel meeting room was very clear on exactly what he was describing.
