Early life

Amy Reeder was born August 25, 1980. She is originally from Denver, Colorado and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Social Science Teaching.[1]

Career

Amy Reeder was first discovered through the fourth of Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga competitions[2] and later wrote and illustrated the OEL manga Fool's Gold.[3]

Reeder became the lead artist on the Madame Xanadu series from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, with writer Matt Wagner.[4] In a 2007 interview, she credited editor Brandon Montclare with helping her get her start in the comics industry.[5] In 2010, DC announced that she would take over alternate art duties for the Batwoman series with J. H. Williams III,[6] in addition to providing variant covers to that title and Supergirl,[7] the latter of which she began with issue 55.[8] She then left the Batwoman book due to "creative differences" in the middle of the next story arc.[9][10] Reeder moved to Image Comics and created Rocket Girl with writer Brandon Montclare.[11] In 2015, she and Montclare began co-writing Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur for Marvel Comics.[12][13]

Technique and materials

In addition to pencils and an electric eraser, Reeder employs, for her hand-colored work, Copic Multiliners and Copic Markers.[1] Reeder is left-handed, and when illustrating a cover, she begins the bottom right of the drawing surface and works her way to the top left, in order to avoid smears.[8] She also employs a drawing tablet for her digital work. Computer programs that she uses include Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, and ComicWorks.[1]

Personal life

Reeder enjoys writing music, singing and sewing.[1] She resides in the Greenwich Village neighborhood in Manhattan.[14]
