Mooch

It doesn't take much in this world to make Mooch happy. The love of a good woman. A glass of fine wine. The company of great family and friends. And Flamethrowers. Glorious, gleaming Flamethrowers.
Mike Mucci has been drawing ever since his claw-like digits have been able to clutch a pencil. Ask his folks. It was a unicorn on a road. A UNICORN. On a ROAD. The sky was the limit from that point on!
Mike studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and majored in Illustration and Cartooning. Taught by some of the most talented names working in the field today, such as James McMullen, Marvin Mattleson and comic-book legend Walt Simonson.
Upon graduating from SVA his first professionally paying gig was at MTV on their hit show “Daria”. 3 seasons at MTV provided him the chance to jump aboard the short lived but beautifully designed “Spy Groove”. Then it was off to Nickelodeon to put his skills to work on “Little Bill” created by the jello puddin’ pop lovin’ Mr. Cosby.
Mike has also done storyboard work for television commercials and design work for The Gap.
Mike is currently quite happy at Toy-biz. For the past 3 years he’s designed toys for major motion pictures like the “Lord of the Rings Trilogy”, “X-2”, “Spider-man and Spider-Man 2” and the upcoming “Fantastic Four” feature film. He’s also designed lines for Toy-biz’s incredibly popular super-hero figure series “Marvel Legends” and “Spider-man Classics”.
Future projects include the strip series “Robot and Alien” and the black comedy comic book “Nuclear Walken”. His hope is that the masses will find these comedic gems and provide Mooch with the means to purchase that Flamethrower and Jet-pack combo he’s been dreamin’ of since he was a wee tyke.
