Overview

Steven Ross Purcell (born July 30, 1961) is an American cartoonist, animator, game designer, and voice actor. He is the creator of the media franchise Sam & Max and received an Eisner Award in 2007 for working on the show. The series has expanded to an animated television series and several video games.

A graduate of the California College of Arts and Craft in San Francisco, Purcell began his career creating comic strips for the college newsletter.
