Pep Shepard was an American cartoonist known for his pioneering cartoon featuring the eponymous Kid Maroon, published during the 1940s in the Baltimore Companion. Kid Maroon was a brilliant kid detective, who--unlike other popular kid detectives--confronted the darkest imaginable crimes. Acclaimed for its inspired writing and deep themes, and criticized for its intense violence, Kid Maroon was the subject of much controversy during its short run. After several tragic mishaps, Shepard abruptly brought the cartoon to an end and vanished into the American west.[1]
