 JD Arnold opened the pages of his first comic book some 38 years ago and has not been heard from since. In the spring of 2007 he realized a life-long dream by becoming a co-owner in his local comical book selling shop, Comicopolis. This year another dream comes true with the release of his first professionally published graphic novel, BB Wolf and the 3 LPs (Top Shelf, 2010). He hopes to continue a life of meager wages by writing and selling these four-color gems well into his Eighties, or until the state lottery sees fit to pull his numbers! C'mon! He currently lives in Santa Cruz, California with his lovely wife Katie and beautiful, but ravenous, daughter Charlotte.

 After growing up in Michigan, a 25-year-old Jeffrey Brown moved to Chicago in 2000 to pursue an MFA at the School of the Art Institute. By the time he completed his studies, he had abandoned painting and started drawing comics seriously. His first self-published book, Clumsy, appeared seemingly out of nowhere to grab attention from both cartoonists and comics fans. Established as an overly sensitive chronicler of bittersweet adolescent romance and nonsense superhero parody, Brown's current direction remains split between more autobiography examining the minutiae of everyday life and whatever humorous fiction he feels in the mood for. His most popular works include Clumsy, Unlikely, AEIOU, and Every Girl is the End of the World For Me, comprising the so-called "Girlfriend Trilogy" and its epilogue. More recently his autobiographical work has included Little Things and Funny Misshapen Body. His parody The Incredible Change-Bots, the Ignatz Award-winning I am going to be small and humorous cat book Cat Getting Out Of A Bag all stand out amongst his humor work, while his Sulk series continues to take on a variety of subjects with satire. Jeffrey's work has appeared in a host of anthologies from McSweeney's to The Best American Comics, as well as mainstream books like The Simpson's Treehouse of Horror and Marvel's Strange Tales. His original artwork has been exhibited in New York, Paris, and Chicago. Brown has been featured on NPR's This American Life and even created a short animated music video for the band Death Cab For Cutie. He lives in Chicago with his wife and son.
