LaBan began working for In These Times 20 years ago, operating the stat camera, illustrating and helping with paste-ups, which at the time were still done with X-acto knives and wax. After the magazine computerized production in the early 1990s, he continued as illustrator and cartoonist. Over the years, LaBan has worked for a number of “alternative” comics for companies like Fantagraphics and Dark Horse and managed a thriving freelance illustration business…for a while.
