Hire This Woman: Cartoonist Shing Yin Khor
In the overwhelmingly male comic book industry, it has been a challenge for some editors and readers to see the ever growing number of talented women currently trying to make a name for themselves. With that in mind, ComicsAlliance offers Hire This Woman, a recurring feature designed for comics readers as well as editors and other professionals, where we shine the spotlight on a female comics pro on the ascendance. Some of these women will be at the very beginning of their careers, while others will be more experienced but not yet “household names.”
Shing Yin Khor is a comics creator who, while primarily a writer, does a little of everything. She publishes many of her comics like Marie and Jeanne through her own small press, Sawdust Press, in addition to being an editor there, and also does comics on The Toast and Bitch.
