Studying under veteran cartoonists Joe Kubert, Ric Estrada and Dick Giordano, he was part of the school's first graduating class in 1978, along with his future long-time collaborators Stephen R. Veitch enrolled in the Kubert School in 1976. According to Veitch, it also proved to be his ticket to admission to The Kubert School. This one-shot was excerpted in Mark James Estren's 1974 study, A History of Underground Comix. He made his professional debut in 1972, illustrating the underground comix horror parody Two-Fisted Zombies published by Last Gasp and written by Tom. While still in high school, Veitch and his brother Tom created the comic strip Crazymouse, which ran regularly in The Vermont Cynic.
His sons Ezra Veitch and Kirby Veitch are also artists, contributing to Eureka Comics. Today, Veitch lives in West Townshend, Vermont with his wife Cindy. "He just said, 'Don't do it, kid.'" Winning honorable mention in a "draw a monster" contest hosted by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, for DRAG Cartoons when he was in seventh grade reassured him that he was on the right path. In an interview, Veitch recalled visiting the muralist Stephan J.Belaski to ask his advice on becoming an artist. One of his elder brothers was the writer Tom Veitch, his first collaborator in comics.
One of six children, he was raised Catholic. Rick Veitch is a native of the small town of Bellows Falls, Vermont. Richard Veitch (born May 7, 1951) is an American comics artist and writer who has worked in mainstream, underground, and alternative comics.
