Paul Kirchner

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Kirchner attended Cooper Union School of Art but left in his third year, when, with the help of Larry Hama and Neal Adams, he began to get work in the comic book industry.

The first, Forgotten Fads and Fabulous Flops, inspired an episode of The History Channel's Modern Marvels, "Failed Inventions", in which Kirchner is featured.

Kirchner and his creative partner, writer Andrew Cahill, created a campaign for Zest Body Wash featuring football's Craig "Ironhead" Heyward.

From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, he wrote and drew comics features for He-Man, GoBots, ThunderCats, G.I. Joe and Power Rangers magazines, published by Telepictures (later Welsh Publications).
