Education

As a child, he never read superhero comics, but was a huge fan of Mad magazine.[1] At Franklin K. Lane High School, Consiglio took a number of cartooning classes, where he created comics, strips, and illustrated humor pieces.[1] Consiglio attended the School of Visual Arts, where his classmates included his long-time friend Alex Robinson.

Consiglio is currently working on a new graphic novel, tentatively entitled Titanius, about a titanium-encrusted man searching for his long-lost son. A short story featuring Titanius can be read in AdHouse Books' Project: Superior (2005).
