About the Author

Matthew Rosenberg is the award-winning, deeply charming, moderately humorous, and disarmingly modest writer of What's the Furthest Place From Here?. He has also co-created and written the series 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank and We Can Never Go Home, as well as worked on titles such as Uncanny X-Men, DC vs. Vampires, The Punisher, The Joker, Amazing Spider-Man, and lots of other stuff like that. Weirdly, he once co-wrote an album with a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He was born and raised in New York City, where he still prowls the streets at night, striking fear into the hearts of no one.

Tyler Boss is an Eisner-nominated, award winning cartoonist and designer. His titles included Dead Dog's Bite, as well as 4 Kids Walk into a Bank and What's the Furthest Place from Here? with his frequent collaborator Matthew Rosenberg. Go Bills.
