Roxanne Starr is a graphic designer and comic book letterer who is known for her work on Bob Burden’s Flaming Carrot, among other projects.

She is a graduate of City College of New York with a degree in art and took Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts. She also worked for two years as a traffic editor at The National Enquirer and as a designer at a Madison Avenue ad agency. Starr moved to Atlanta in 1980 and began a long association with Bob Burden and his cult comic book, The Flaming Carrot, for which Roxanne provided hand lettering. Flaming Carrot’s success led to more comic book related work and she became one of the first comic book letterers to utilize computer fonts that imitated hand-lettering.

In the early 90s Starr was assigned to letter issues of Alan Moore’s legendary aborted series, BIG NUMBERS. The last known issue of Big Numbers, issue three, lettered by Starr, has only surfaced online after disagreements between the writer and artists brought the publication of the series to a halt. Other comic book work by Starr included Malibu Comics’ Ultraverse titles, Caliber Comic’s anthology NEGATIVE BURN, THE ALAN MOORE SONGBOOK and Brian Michael Bendis JINX. As of 2012 Roxanne is updating websites featuring Flaming Carrot and other Bob Burden properties.
