Paul Stapleton was born in Brighton in 1975. Raised on a daily breakfast of The Perishers, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes and the occasional Peanuts, his fall into the murky world of comic writing was inevitable. From a series of handmade minicomics during the mid nineties to a prolific slew of full-blown graphic novels since, Paul made a niche for himself by documenting the absurd, the idiotic and annoying in collections such as Facebook The Comicbook, I Must Rise Above These Divs and Defects, The Weekend Starts There and more, before going full circle and creating his own daily strip, Latchkey.
