After earning an art degree from Syracuse University in 1952, Frank Springer served a tour in the U.S. Army. From 1955 to 1960, he was assistant to George Wunder on 'Terry and the Pirates'. As a freelance cartoonist, Springer has drawn a wide variety of action and adventure comic books. However, his most lasting fame was for drawing 'The Adventures of Phoebe Zeit-Geist', written by Michael O'Donoghue and published in Evergreen Review in 1965-66. Sexy cartoon albums were not new in Europe, but 'Phoebe Zeit-Geist' was a sensation in the United States. Also for the Evergreen Review, he made 'Frank Fleet' in 1969-70. Springer passed away in April 2009 at the age of 79.
