Chad Sell grew up in a small town in central Wisconsin. He lived in
a neighborhood much like the Cardboard Kingdom, where he and his
friends bounded through backyards in imaginative games and outfits.
He also drew a lot and came up with all kinds of colorful
characters. His favorites were often the villains, because despite
being different and misunderstood, they were powerful and
confident, and they got the best costumes. Chad lives in Chicago
with his husband and two cats.
