Alex de Campi writes comics. She is best known for her critically-acclaimed teen survival thriller NO MERCY and the groundbreaking, digital-native comic VALENTINE. Her latest work is the spy noir miniseries MAYDAY. She was nominated for an Eisner for her first comic work, Smoke, and it's all been downhill from there. Alex also directs music videos, and has worked with acts as diverse as Grand Duchy (Frank Black / Violet Clark), Joan As Police Woman, and Amanda Palmer to the retro-fabulous Puppini Sisters.
Alex's background is a three-whisky conversation and involves several continents. She is a single mother of an awesome daughter; they live in the Stephen Kingdom (Downeast Maine) with two dogs. She has an opinion on nearly everything. You can peruse them, along with stupid photos and memes, at @alexdecampi on most social media.
Khai Krumbhaar joined the Army as an Arabic linguist just out of high school. She deployed to Iraq twice: once with 312th Military Intelligence Battalion and again with the 2nd Special Troops Battalion. By a charming quirk of military bureaucracy those were more or less the same units within the 1st Cavalry Division. After 27 collective months of deployment and nearly 12 years of service (including a short stint in the Michigan National Guard) she was medically retired. These days Khai splits her time between editing at The Geekiary, writing, and spending time with her partner and her service dog Fargo. She can be found on Twitter as @DeadlyHausfrau.
