About this title

From the Author:

Jhonen Vasquez is a writer and artist who walks in many worlds, not unlike Blade, only without having to drink blood-serum to survive the curse that is also his greatest power (still talking about Blade here). He’s worked in comics and animation and is the creator of Invader ZIM, a fact that haunts him to this day.

Aaron Alexovich’s first professional art job was drawing deformed children for Nickelodeon’s Invader ZIM. Since then he’s been deforming children for various animation and comic projects, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Disney’s Haunted Mansion, Fables, Kimmie66, ELDRITCH! (with art by Drew Rausch) and three volumes of his own beloved horror/comedy witch comic dealie, Serenity Rose.

Sarah Andersen is a cartoonist and illustrator graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014 and currently lives in Brooklyn. Her comics, Adulthood is a Myth, are semi-autobiographical and follow the adventures of herself, her friends, and her beloved pets.

Katy Farina is a comic artist and illustrator based in Los Angeles, CA. She graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and design in 2009 with a BFA in illustration, and although that’s what she did exclusively for several years, the sweet siren call of comics had her telling stories in no time! She is currently a background painter at Dreamworks Television.

Cassie Kelly was born in the District of Columbia, in October of 1986. Originally starting her artistic career in product design and illustration, she only just started coloring comics in early 2015. She currently resides in Ohio with her husband, Drew, and their children: Valentine, Rogue, Mozart, Garak, and Pickle.

Danielle Koenig is an Earthling writer whose professional career started with penning several episodes of the Invader ZIM the television series. Since then she’s gone on to write everything from cartoons like Disney’s Star Vs. The Forces of Evil and PBS’s Wordgirl, to more adult fare like The Dish, The Stash and The WGA Awards. But without a doubt, writing for the ZIM comic is her most impressive credit, according to her nine-year-old son, Oliver.

Eric Trueheart was one of the original writers on the Invader ZIM television series back when there was a thing called “television.” Since then, he’s made a living writing moderately-inappropriate things for people who make entertainment for children, including Dreamworks Animation, Cartoon Network, Disney TV, PBS, Hasbro, and others. Upon reading this list, he now thinks he maybe should have become a dentist, and he hates teeth.

Fred C. Stresing is a colorist, artist, writer, and letterer for a variety of comics. You may recognize his work from Invader ZIM, the comic you are holding. He has been making comics his whole life, from the age of six. He has gotten much better since then. He currently resides in Savannah, Georgia with his wife and 2 cats. He doesn’t know how the cats got there, they are not his.

Warren Wucinich is an illustrator, colorist, and part-time carny currently living in Durham, NC. When not making comics he can usually be found watching old Twilight Zone episodes and eating large amounts of pie.
