Liz Prince (born 1981[1]) is an American comics creator, noted for her sketchbook-style autobiographical comics.[2] Prince initially started publishing on her own on the internet[3] and later became a published author with Top Shelf Comics.[4] She currently lives in Massachusetts.[5]

Biography

Prince was born in Boston[6] and grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[7] As a young person, she played Little League baseball in Santa Fe.[7]

In 2012, Prince lent her talents to help support the Boston Ladyfest, which worked to raise money for the Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund and create a "lasting network for creative feminists in Boston and beyond."[8] She has also participated in Free Comic Book Day, signing copies of her book, Tomboy, for free at New England Comics in Harvard Square in 2014.[9]

Books

Prince's first book, Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? won an Ignatz award for Outstanding Debut in 2005.[10] In 2014 she released Alone Forever, a collection of autobiographical short comics centered on dating and relationships.[11]

Her graphic memoir, Tomboy, received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews,[12] and won a Gold Medal at the 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards.[13] The memoir explores what it means to be female and describes Prince's struggle with gender issues.[14][15] This memoir is told through short, related stories starting from Prince's early childhood experiences and ending when Prince is a teenager and has slowly learned to define herself as a woman on her own terms.[14] Tomboy was a 2015 pick for the Young Adult Library Services Association's (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens list.[16]

She has also published or contributed to several zines, minicomics, and anthologies including Subcultures: A Comics Anthology.[17] Prince has occasionally contributed to comic adaptations of Adventure Time[18][19] and Regular Show.[20] Since June 2015, she has been the writer of the comic book adaptation of Clarence (Boom! Studios) with art by Evan Palmer.[21]
