I’m really excited about this year’s superstar creator for Free Comic Book Day 2026 at my shop @isotopecomics.
Amelie Anderson’s work has been a real inspiration to a bunch of local creators (of all ages!) and honestly, for me too. I had one of those moments designing her event flyer where I just went into the flow state, but as soon as I’d finished making it, I realized where my right-side art-brain was *actually* trying to guide me to all that time. So I knew I had to remake it to let the subconsciousness express its post-Swiss-absinthe-tour inner voice. So here’s the finalized version. I can’t really put my finger on it but something about it all just speaks to me.
And given how dream-like Amelie’s comics are, it’s perfect that I got to just let my subconscious guide me on this one.
Anyway, I can’t wait to get to introduce people to her new book! Amelie won’t know these creators but I saw a lot of Brendan McCarthy and Steve Ditko in her art on her first book, SPEYEDER, and with her new apocalyptic romance book, I WOULD SPEND MY LAST DAYS WITH YOU, there’s this additional new vibe of Paul Pope and Jamaica Dyer that really blows me away.
Come meet Amelie, buy her latest book, grab a free FCBD comic or two, drop a few dollars in my awesome independent local book store that has been supporting the next generations of comic creators like this one for over two decades, and join me in celebrating this really gifted young comic artist, won’t you?
