Sean and Shawn were the pen-names of John Klamik (July 22, 1935 – January 5, 2005), was an American artist specializing in gay male erotica and comics.[1] His homosexual-themed cartoons were among the first to appear in US publications, including a regular feature in the early years of The Advocate. He worked under two pen names: Shawn for more mainstream gay publications such as In Touch,[2] and Sean for fetish publications such as Drummer and Bound & Gagged.[3][4]
