The Cork artist who is helping create the world's top comic books


The colourist explained her role in putting together a comic book.

Ellie, originally from Cornwall, but living in Cork city for the last 12 years, is working on two characters with Dynamite Entertainment, Betty Page and Elvira.

Ellie said she is lucky to have the amount of work she has and as a freelancer you are nearly always looking for your next job. “One job usually leads to another. It is all about communication and making connections.”

“I have previously worked on a Batman cover with DC and I would like to continue working on Batman books in future, if possible. That’s the dream.”

Ellie said she is starting to use Instagram a little more as it is a great way to showcase her images. “Social media is definitely playing a huge role in getting jobs. It is not always steady work but it is always fun.”

Anyone looking to get into comic books can go along to the Cork Comic Creators meet up on the last Friday of every month at Comic Vault at around 8pm.
