John Brodowski grew up in an “utterly unremarkable” New England town. Unfortunately this is also where he currently lives. During his brain’s most crucial developmental period he enjoyed watching many, many horror movies such as Rawhead Rex,Death Race 2000, and The Toxic Avenger. He also enjoyed staying up very late and eating 10 packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. He is currently battling a Pepsi addiction but can’t seem to make comics without it. His Curio Cabinet series of short stories is known for its blend of suburban blandness and twisted, funny horror, and gained him a spot in the over-sizedKramer’s Ergot 7.
