Lea Hernandez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lea Hernandez (born 11 March 1964) is an American comic book and webcomic creator, known primarily for working in a manga-influenced style,[1] and for doing lettering and touch ups on manga imports.[2] She is the co-creator of Killer Princesses written by Gail Simone and published by Oni Press, and the creator of Rumble Girls from NBM. She did art for works at Marvel Comics and DC Comics: Marvel Mangaverse: Punisher (a one shot), and Transmetropolitan (two 2 page shorts). She also did art for 3 issues of The Hardy Boys manga-style series at Papercutz.[3] She published several webcomics at Modern Tales and was the original editor of Girlamatic. Her webcomics include Atelier Divalea and The Garlicks , the latter which she attempted to fund with a Kickstarter campaign,[4] later followed by an IndieGogo campaign,[5] with publishing rights optioned by Action Labs.[6]

She received a 1999 Eisner nomination for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition.[7] In 2004, she was awarded Lulu of the Year by Friends of Lulu, a now disbanded women in comics organization, for editing at Girlamatic.[8]

Hernandez has written several short stories for collections of science fiction and fantasy.

She was a vice president for General Products USA (the U.S. marketing arm of Gainax) from 1989–1990 and was briefly a guest editor for Wizard .

She appeared in Adventures Into Digital Comics, a 2006 documentary on the comics industry.[9]

On the morning of September 6, 2006, her home in Texas burned down[10] and much of her original artwork was lost in the fire. Colleagues in the comics industry responded by collecting donations for Lea from fans and friends in the comics industry.[11]
