Conor Stechschulte grew up in rural Pennsylvania and graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art 2008. He lives in Chicago, IL.
...[The Amateurs] is part over-the-top slapstick, part excruciating
panic. ... Stechschulte doesn't offer any simple solutions to the
puzzle he lays out, and the result is akin to the Three Stooges
starring in a version of Picnic at Hanging Rock.--John Seven "The
Comics Journal"
Conor Stechschulte... [has] imbued The Amateurs... with a rich
sense of rustic strangeness that erupts into bloody slapstick....
In fact, things degenerate into something akin to the most
transgressively nightmarish Laurel and Hardy film you've never
seen. ...[T]his is a dense and powerful breakthrough work from
Conor Stechschulte. For all of its surface splatter, it mines an
older and richer vein of the pagan and the uncanny.--Tom Murphy

If you try to imagine the most nightmarishly transgressive Laurel
and Hardy film you've never seen, you might just get close to the
experience of reading Conor Stechschulte's 64-page story The
Amateurs.... Stechschulte's dark humour and claustrophobic art
style make this an intense and disquieting read.--Frederik Hautain
"Broken Frontier"
