Patrick Lay (he/him) is an internationally published cartoonist from Northwest Ohio. He gets just as excited about sad things as he does about happy things (imagine a Golden Retriever raised by cats). His comics are teen and all-ages stories about our relationships with each other and the ups and downs of a wild world.
Patrick earned a B.S.F.A in Oil Painting from Valparaiso University and an MFA in Comics from the California College of the Arts. His most recent book, Death Strikes: The Emperor of Atlantis, with writer David Maass, is available from Dark Horse Comics/Berger Books nationwide and in Czech language from Comics Centrum. Patrick has been self-publishing for 10 years, including webcomics, all-ages sci-fi adventures, and multi-media comic experiences. He co-hosted the podcast Pop!Whiz!Bang! A Comics Conversation with Meggie Ramm.
