Contributor Bio(s): Twain, Mark: - Mark Twain was born in Hannibal, Missouri, in 1835. An adventurous young man, Twain traveled around the United States. He worked as a Mississippi riverboat pilot, a miner, and a reporter. When Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in 1872, most books presented boys as purely good or evil characters. Twain wanted his boy hero, Tom Sawyer, to be a real boy, so he based the book on his own boyhood adventures in Missouri.Strickland, Daniel: - Daniel Strickland has been drawing his eccentric characters ever since he could hold a pencil. He earned his BFA in Sequential Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He creates illustrations, renders portraits, and develops original characters and stories. |
