In addition to his graphic novels TenNapel has written a children’s book series titled The Strange Kid Chronicles, a five book series about a school full of odd students with special powers. Since writing Gear, TenNapel has gone on to create more than 10 graphic novels, including Ghostopolis, Creature Tech, and Ratfist (Doug TenNapel Wikipedia). This novel was later turned into the Nickelodeon TV show Cat Scratch (Doug TenNapel Bully Pulpit). It was not until 1998 that TenNapel created his first graphic novel, Gear, a surreal graphic novel based on his cats who were at war with bugs and dogs, and who used giant robots as weapons. While with Sega he worked on games ranging from Jurassic Park and Jungle Book to Earthworm Jim, which is considered one of TenNapel’s most popular projects. TenNapel did not start his career as an author or comic book artist, but rather as a cartoonist for Sega video games. Once he finished college he relocated to Glendale, California where he now resides with his wife and children. He attended Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Art (Doug TenNapel Wikipedia). Doug TenNapel was born in Norwalk, California in 1966 and moved to Denair, California as a child.
