Hill, Draper (1935 – 2009)
Hill studied at the Slade School of Fine Art on a Fulbright scholarship. In 1958, he began working as a political cartoonist with the Patriot Ledger in Massachusetts. From there he moved to the Worcester Telegram and then the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He joined the Detroit News in 1976. Hill employed inventive visuals to make his point, often at the expense of Detriot Mayor Coleman Young, who began his legendary 20th Century run as mayor two years prior to Hill's arrival on the scene. Hill was also a distinguished cartoon historian; well-known for his work on James Gillray and Thomas Nast.
