Renton Hawkey
Renton Hawkey is an indie comic creator. He quit smoking in 2017 and enjoys large boots of German beer, European comics, 90’s X-Men, Spaghetti Westerns, Akira Kurosawa, spies, podcasts, stand-up comedy, history, psychology, theology, conservation, shooting bows, lifting weights, sharpening sticks, building character, and more stuff there’s no room for. He doesn’t have a Patreon, but go ahead and donate to the Literacy Network if you’re able. You’d be surprised how many grown-ups can’t read.
He lives with his wife and two kids in Madison, Wisconsin.
