Author Biography

Magdalene Visaggio is the Eisner and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer behind Kim & Kim, Eternity Girl, Dazzler: X Song, Transformers vs Visionaries, and Morning in America. A lifelong comics reader, she studied English at Virginia Commonwealth University and did graduate work in Ethics & Moral Theology at Seton Hall before dropping out to focus on writing comics where people hit each other with guitars. When not writing, she's probably passed out on her couch at three in the morning with a cat on top of her while Netflix asks if she wants to continue watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. She lives in Manhattan.

With Kevin Hearne, she co-writes the Tales of Pell beginning with Kill the Farm Boy. She writes the creator-owned comics Sparrowhawk and Ladycastle and has written comics in the worlds of Adventure Time, Labyrinth, The X-Files Case Files, Star Wars Adventures, and Star Wars Forces of Destiny. She has won three RT Awards and has received stars from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Booklist, VOYA, and Library Journal. She lives in Florida with her family and is always online at whimsydark.com.
