Who is... Darren Schroeder?

Since retiring as the longest serving editor of the New Zealand anthology Funtime Comics Presents Darren went to live in the UK, spending time on his allotment growing corn and potatoes. After Ten years there he returned the New Zealand and a career in sports administration.

He edited the Small Press section of Comics Bulletin for 7 years, and contributed the occasional interview and review regarding mainstream comics.

He has written articles on New Zealand comics for Comic Edge, Comic Quarterly, Stripschrift, Comic Australia and various other magazines and web sites; as well as maintaining fan sites for the comic characters Man-Thing, Jonah Hex, and comic creator Keith Giffen. He puts John Weeks' everyone can do comics philosophy to the harshest test possible in his own mini comic, Mopy

His proudest moment in small press comics was when he caught a fly ball in the outfield during the 1999 Small Press Expo versus Diamond Distributors softball game while Neil Gamian watched and cheered.
