Author Information
Hannah Hodgson is a writer and poet whose creative work mostly focuses on her disability, hospice use, and family life. Hannah had her first pamphlet, Dear Body, published in 2018, and has had poetry published widely. She has written prose for Grazia Magazine, Teen Vogue, and Hospice UK. Hannah was diagnosed with a life limiting illness at 16 and ever since has had a philosophy of wanting to try everything. She is a huge fan of comics and has loved the opportunity to learn about their construction of them. Abbigayle Bircham is an artist from North London with a degree in Film and Moving Image Production. Currently working full time in Post Production, she uses her spare time to illustrate and build her creative skillset, as well as write and draw comics for the Rat Pack Collective anthologies. She loves writing and drawing fantasy and supernatural characters and settings, so Worri & Vort became a fantastical take on the environmental activism that took place in London, May 2019. Danny Christie was born in London and raised in Coventry and is a self-taught artist with a degree in Drama with Media and Communications. He self-published his first graphic novel The Mystical Legend of Eagle-Ras in 2018, which introduced his comic universe spun-off from a film script he wrote while at the Belgrade Theatre. He is currently working on sequels to his graphic novel and hopes to see them adapted into films/animations. Danny likes to take personal experiences from his environment and mix them with sci-fi and spiritual elements to create multi-layered stories with social messages.
