Roger Langridge (special art sequences) was born in New Zealand in 1967. He decided to become a cartoonist when he was six years old; for some reason it stuck (perhaps because it was more attainable than his previous career goal of "mad scientist"). Roger drew a lot of comics with his brother Andrew when he was growing up. Eventually one of these evolved into Art Dekko (later "Art d'Ecco"), which was his first minicomic, in 1988. And things sort of rolled on from there ... Roger moved to London in 1990 to try and go professional, and somehow got lucky. He now lives there with his wife Sylvie, their daughter Tamsin and somebody else's cat.
Bob Stevenson (Chapter 1 Page 1 - Chapter 3 Page 24) has refused to draw on the right side of the brain since someone taught him that brains have sides. Instead, he wanders the globe posing as a teacher. In private, he pushes lead, charcoal, ink and pixels whenever opportunities present themselves.
