Ryan North is a New York Times best-selling and Eisner-winning writer whose recent work includes the nonfiction books How to Take Over the World and How to Invent Everything, the graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's semifictional Slaughterhouse-Five, and the so-far-fictional Unbeatable Squirrel Girl series for Marvel. He's also twice collaborated with William Shakespeare on choose-your-own-path versions of his plays. He lives in Toronto, where he writes for video games, television, and his long-running webcomic Dinosaur Comics. He once messed up walking his dog so badly it made the news.
