I was a very sick child and spent a lot of time indoors. Drawing was an activity I could do that wouldn't cause an asthma attack or expose me to allergens. My gateway into comics were the funny pages." Green attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he met Jax Epoch and Teen Boat! collaborator Dave Roman. References.
