Amy Reeder (born August 25, 1980), formerly known as Amy Reeder Hadley, is an American comic book artist and writer known for her work on titles such as Fool's Gold, Madame Xanadu, Batwoman, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

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]
