JARED MURALT was born in 1982 in Bern, Switzerland. Though he attended art school for one year in Bern, Muralt is primarily self-taught, and he developed his precision and skill through the careful study of books as diverse as those pertaining to anatomy, art history and comics. Muralt is also co-founder of BlackYard studio, a Swiss illustration and graphic design agency that was honored with Bern’s Advancement Award for Design in 2009.

SINA GRACE has worn many hats in his many years in comics but is mainly known for his work as a writer, artist, and general gal about town.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Grace got his start making comics as early as high school, when he worked as an editorial intern at Top Cow Productions and spent weekends working the register at Hi De Ho Comics in Santa Monica. From there, he split his time attending University of California, Santa Cruz and self-publishing zines, mini-comics, and his first-ever series, Books with Pictures.

From there, Grace entered the harsh world of fashion retail while continuing his pursuits in comics and illustration. During this time, he released the new-noir urban fantasy, Cedric Hollows in Dial M for Magic, illustrated the all-ages book Among the Ghosts for Amber Benson, and began a decade-long collaboration with Shaun Steven Struble on the webcomic The Li’l Depressed Boy (which would later be published by Image Comics). Grace’s life would change dramatically when getting an email about getting into editing comics. Read more here.
