Darren Schroeder

Darren Phillip Schroeder (born 27 August 1967 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a Small Press editor, critic, stand-up comedian, and comics creator.

He also creates his own popular semi-autobiographical mini comic Mopy Darren Schroeder is a pākehā from Christchurch, New Zealand who is now living in Devon, England.

[3] His interest turned to locally produced comics, and even though they were done on a small scale he thought they were just as good, if not better, than most of the imported stuff he encountered.

Darren Schroeder took up editorship of the Small Press section of the international Comics Bulletin website when the site launched in 2000.

[6] Comics reviewer Tim Bollinger wrote that Darren's mini-comic, Mopy: "...veers wildly from heartfelt autobiographical narratives to bad throwaway puns, with naïve, scratchy but immediate drawings that shout sincerity into the gaping abyss of popular cultural indifference".
