Queenie Chan is a Chinese-Australian Original English-Language comic artist who co-wrote and illustrated the graphic novel In Odd We Trust , a prequel to Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas , and published by Del Rey. She illustrated the sequel, Odd Is On Our Side , and is illustrating The Boy's Book of Positive Quotations for Fairview Press. [1]
She originally lived in Hong Kong, [2] but in 1986, she and her family moved to Australia. [3] Through her childhood, she was interested in reading manga and also read Chinese-translated versions of Shonen Jump as well as popular American cartoon strips such as Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes .
She attended Meriden High School before graduating and enrolling at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to study computer programming, but in mid-1998, she was inspired to write and draw her own manga stories after reading Rurouni Kenshin . [4]
Queenie Chan started publishing her own web comics before she considered submitting her work to Tokyopop in 2005, where she successfully published her three volume series The Dreaming .
Bill Sherman, reviewing Chan's work on The Dreaming praised her work stating she was a "skillful visual storyteller, capable of slathering on the atmosphere". [5]
