Amazing Facts and Beyond

Kevin Huizenga was born in 1977 in Harvey, IL and spent most of his childhood in South Holland, IL, near Chicago.

In 2001 the Comics Journal named him "Minimalism Cartoonist of the Year" and called #14 of his "Supermonster" mini-comic series "one of the best comics of any kind released in 2001." His most recent book Gloriana was published in 2012 by Drawn & Quarterly. DAN ZETTWOCH was born in Louisville, Kentucky--the birthplace of Muhammad Ali and the cheeseburger--in 1977. He studied mathematics and illustration at Washington University. His most recent book Birdseye Bristoe was published in 2012 by Drawn & Quarterly.

Ignatz award Nomination for Outstanding Collection "Zettwoch and Huizenga's flagrant disregard for the truth makes each strip a fresh exercise in trying to decipher what is real and what is not. Topics are numerous and delightful, including spotlights on the Museum of Leftover Masterpieces, the Secret History of Dogs as Weapons, and an account of a Jesuit missionary in China who fused the art of kung fu and the Bible into a single gospel. [...] this is a book to be savored [...]"--Publishers Weekly "I feel like a pretty well-informed guy, but the great Leon Beyond taught me something new on virtually every page of this beautiful collection. Indispensable!"--Ken Jennings, all-time Jeopardy! champion and author of Brainiac and Because I Said So. "I met Leon Beyond at a party once. In the span of eleven minutes he taught me: the sordid history of pet portraits, how to cook an egg on your own body, and which trees look the most like ex-presidents. I haven't been able to forget these facts, no matter how hard I've tried!"--Lisa Hanawalt, My Dirty Dumb Eyes
