Steve Behling

Biography

Just because Steve Behling sleeps with the lights on, doesn’t mean he’s afraid of monsters. Or maybe it does? Anyway. Obsessed with comic books and old horror movies since he was a kid, Steve loves to tell stories. Some of his works include the original middle grade novel Agent Stitch: A Study in Slime, the Marvel Monsters Unleashed chapter book series, and many others. Steve lives in a top secret subterranean lair with his wife, two human children, and an awesome shelter dog, Loomis, who is afraid of monsters because he is smart. 

Robb Mommaerts

Biography

Robb Mommaerts is a cartoonist and illustrator who always hoped that his hobby of doodling bizarre creatures in school notebooks would eventually turn into a career. From his basement dungeon, he’s been hopping between the realms of children’s book illustration, comic books, game art, and character design. He’s recently had the opportunity to illustrate the Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat series, written by Johnny Marciano and Emily Chenoweth. Before that he completed eight picture book titles and provided artwork for several top-selling tabletop game projects. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife, two kids, and a dog.
