Lightning Lady

by Brad Guigar

Selected comics from the daily comic strip, "Greystone Inn," redesigned and reformatted into a continuous graphic novel. "Lightning Lady" tells the story of a recovering super-villain who goes to Evil Anonymous meetings (because "You don't stop being evil, you just stop aiming death rays at people"). The story heats up when she meets her new boyfriend at San Diego Comic Con -- a man who is anything but what he appears to be.

About the author

Webcomics pioneer Brad Guigar has been doing a daily comic strip since February 2000. Tens of thousands read Evil Inc every day on the Web and in newspapers. He has published over a dozen printed collections of his work, and he has been nominated for an Eisner award — the top honor in the comics industry. And he does it without a syndicate. Without a publisher. And without an editor.

Guigar runs the daily tutorial-and-advice Web site for independent cartoonists, Webcomics.com, and is the author of three books about the process of cartooning and self-publishing. He is the author of "The Everything Cartooning Book." He co-wrote the seminal "How To Make Webcomics Book," (Amazon) and he wrote its sequel, "The Webcomics Handbook" (Amazon)

His podcasts include Surviving Creativity, Webcomics Weekly, Webcomics Confidential and Hey Comics — Kids! (a podcast he records with his two boys on their drive to school).

Guigar is an adjunct professor at Hussian School of Art, teaching Arts Entrepreneurship and Sequential Art. Guigar is available for freelance illustration projects — including children's book illustration, superhero-themed illustrations and corporate work.

A confident and engaging public speaker, Guigar is also available to lead presentations on creativity-on-demand, managing creative people, social media, comics history, and Web-based publishing.
