Todd Hignite currently provides exclusive worldwide representation for all Daniel Clowes original art sales and has also managed sales for an additional group of the most important contemporary comic artists.
Hignite has been instrumental to the increased cultural awareness of comics as an art form over the last two decades. He is author of the books The Art of Jaime Hernandez/The Secrets of Life and Death (Abrams) and In the Studio: Visits with Contemporary Cartoonists (Yale University Press), was founding editor of Comic Art magazine, acted as inaugural curator for Washington University in St. Louis’ Dowd Modern Graphic History Library, and has written on and organized a number of exhibitions devoted to comic art, notably the retrospective R.

As one of the world’s top comic art experts, Hignite currently serves as Executive Vice President of Heritage Auctions, playing a key leadership role in the dramatic expansion of the market over the last fifteen years while overseeing numerous record-setting results for many of the most substantial and important collections of vintage comic and illustration art, both at auction and privately, achieving worldwide record results for such artists as Robert Crumb, Jack Kirby, Frank Frazetta, Bill Watterson, and Wally Wood, among many others.
