Corinne Mucha was born in New Jersey in 1983. She graduated from RISD with a degree in illustration in 2005. Her comics work includes the Xeric funded My Alaskan Summer, the Ignatz award winning the Monkey in the Basement and Other Delusions (Retrofit Comics) and the YA graphic novel Freshman: Tales of 9th Grade Obsessions, Revelations, and Other Nonsense (Zest Books). She lives in Chicago where she works as a cartoonist and teaching artist. As a child, she really believed that witches lived in her closet. Her overactive imagination continues to be a problem to this day.
