About Robyn

Robyn Chapman edits, publishes, and (sometimes) draws comics. She is the proprietor of the micro-press Paper Rocket Minicomics, and she has held many different jobs in comics. She spent five years at the Center for Cartoon Studies, initially as their first fellow and later as a program coordinator and faculty member. During her time at CCS, she earned her MFA in cartooning, having previously earned her BFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design. She began her editing career at Graphic Universe, the graphic novel imprint of Lerner Publishing Group. Since 2016, she has been an editor at First Second.

She was the editor/publisher of the Tiny Report (a zine about comic micro-presses) and the author of Drawing Comics Lab (Quarry Books). In the spring of 2016, she debuted Twin Bed, her first solo comic in a long, long time. In 2021 she edited and co-published (with Silver Sprocket) the nonfiction comics anthology American Cult.

Robyn is an amateur archivist and has a collection of over two thousand minicomics, which she posts about on her Instagram page, @paperrobyn.
