Sam Maggs

Sam Maggs masquerades by day as a Talent Coordinator for TV and radio in Toronto, but her (not-so) secret identity is actually that of super-nerd-girl! Her geekiest passions include sci-fi TV, graphic novels, Victoriana, dystopian YA lit, Harry Potter, and anything written by Aaron Sorkin. Sam’s parents saw Star Wars: A New Hope twenty-four times in theatres when it first came out, so it’s really not her fault that she turned out the way she did. Sam also contributes articles for CBC Live, The Televixen, and TdotComics, You can find her on Twitter @SamMaggs, if you're into that sort of thing.

    Ladies Make Comics Too: Kate Leth

    For my very first ”Ladies Make Comics Too,” meet Kate Leth; she’s a great indie artist who wishes people would stop asking (anyone, ever), ”What’s it like to be a woman in comics?”, and would love to see more mainstream comics with empowered women who aren’t objectified.
