Christopher Schenck grew up in a small town north of San Francisco, the son of pot-smoking hippies and liberal utopian dreamers. His intensely chaotic and backwards childhood was mollified by reading Conan and Silver Surfer comics all day and night in his treehouse. Determined to escape and live on solid ground, he made a career as a comic book penciller, enrolling in a school that had no comic book curriculum or faculty. After school he landed some small jobs in the burgeoning black and white boom of the late 80’s which led to more work for DC Comics and Dark Horse. His first regular gig was penciller on Tarzan monthly for Dark Horse comics. Never one to sit still, he kept looking for new opportunities and new clients. The video game industry was just beginning, and he started to get jobs on games and animated shows. Since that time Christopher has worked on Batman Beyond, The Lord of the Rings, Stretch Armstrong, G.I. Joe, Secret Saturdays, DC Super Hero Girls,
Monster Match, James Bond, Ultimate Spider-Man, and too many more to list here. In addition to his work in comics and animation, Christopher taught comics and figure drawing at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, starting in 1996, where he developed a reputation as a top draughtsman and storyteller. He currently lives in Northern California with his much smarter wife.
