[edit] Biography
Paul Hornschemeier was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1977 and raised in nearby Georgetown, Ohio. As a child he liked to draw, dreaming that he might publish his own comicbooks one day. While majoring in philosophy and psychology at Ohio State, Hornschemeier was introduced to the graphic novel Ghost World by Daniel Clowes and was impressed. He saw that comics could be a venue for exploring issues that are far from superficial. Following graduation he began publishing his own black and white comics, progressive in nature, that have now been compiled by AdHouse Books under the title The Collected Sequential. He gradually began using colors in his comics, and in 2003 he published his first graphic novel titled Mother, Come Home.[1]
