CREATOR'S BIOS
Steve Guzelis
Bio:

Born September 28, 1959 in Los Angeles, Steve lived in southern California until 1976, when he moved to the Chicago area. He attended various colleges and worked at a variety of jobs before beginning a career as an X-ray Tech in the late 1980's. Although drawing has been his main interest since childhood (along with music and literature), it wasn't until 1996 - at the suggestion of Tom Wachowski, whom he met during a period as a rock drummer - that he focused his energy on creating comic-books, leading to the formation of Strange Fun Comics. His main comic book influence is Wally Wood, the first comic artist whose work he recognised and wanted to emulate. Authors J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard are also highly influential, while countless musicians have provided the backdrop to many hours at the drawing table. Steve is a tireless artist, vegetarian and all-around good guy.

Tom Wachowski Bio:

Born in Chicago, and a diabetic at the age of 14, Tom had to re-evaluate who he was and who he wanted to be. Whether it was a love of physics, too many illicit drugs, or a hot art teacher, Tom found himself leaning towards a somewhat Bohemian lifestyle. Playing bass in a band, he went back to college to get an Art degree. He says that he began working as a graphic artist while in school, and had to learn the real way to do things, not the art school way. In his first 30 years, he never picked up a comic book to read. Luckily for SFC, he had a brother-in-law (now ex) who was a comic book freak who turned him onto Neil Gaiman, Joe Linsner, Bill Tucci, and a few choice others. Soon he talked to his friend and ex-drummer, Steve, whom he knew to be an excellent artist, and convinced him that the two of them could produce an indie graphic novel or comic book. Since that day, Tom is most proud to have met and talked to the three professionals who influenced his comic book interest. Joe Linsner, even signed and positively commented on his work as “effing a!” SFC is lucky to have Tom.

Andrew Joseph Bio:

Born November 8, 1964 in London, England, moved to Toronto, Canada in 1968 and spent three years in Ohtawara, Japan between 1990-1993, Andrew Joseph is a nerd… unfortunately not the filthy rich computer type, but the rather the type who knows a lot of crap most people don’t care about. Though he played all sports well, excelling at soccer, baseball, judo, and kyudo (Japanese archery), he prefers to watch boxing and hockey from the comfort of his living room. While his nerdiness only begins to show through as a piano and clarinet teacher, it’s his love of Star Trek and all of its incarnations, playing AD&D well into his 30s, his 25,000 comic book collection and knowledge of the history of the comic book industry that makes us scream “NERD”! A political Science BA, and a Journalism Diploma from Humber College are his educational rewards. Married (sorry ladies) to Colette Raby who edits for SFC, he has a new-born son. Andrew’s main comic book influence is Carl Barks with influential authors including Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. He says he watches CSI (the spin-offs suck), 24, Heroes and Lost, currently works as a features editor for a Canadian industrial magazine out of Toronto, is building a model train set and still can’t believe he’s a nerd. His goal is to take on Mark Waid in a comic book trivia contest.
His portrait was drawn by his buddy, comic pro Mike Worley who often does work for Bongo Comics "The Simpsons".

Charles Richardson Bio:

From Little Rock, Arkansas, comes Charles A. Richardson (Chuck Alan), 31, an illustrator and creator for SFC, and now a writer for his own World Gone Mad Studios. A devout Christian, Chuck is married to Stephanie, and has two daughters; we know one is named Sydnie (4) and the other one’s name escapes us at the moment of this writing. Aside from God, Chuck says several great artists influence him, most notably: Will Eisner, Brian Bolland, Jim Lee, Eduardo Risso, Frank Miller, J. G. Jones, John Romita Jr., Eric Powell and Joe Quesada.  As far as writers, it's: Stan Lee, Brian Azzarello, Andy Diggle, Alan Moore, Chris Clarmont and Frank Miller, as well as Denny O'Neill, Mark Waid, Chuck Dixon and Ron Marz. Chuck’s main goals are for people to read and enjoy his work and to be considered a creator of merit amongst his peers in the industry. Oh and maybe one day win an Eisner Award!
