Jo Chen is one of my absolute favorite graphic novel artists — she has an amazing talent of capturing life and expressing it in pen and ink.  She has been involved in the comic industry since the age of 14 and has worked most notably for D.C. Comics and Dark Horse Comics producing cover art for The Runaways and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I’m particularly fond of Jo Chen because she has a talent of making pen and ink appear as paint, which is a difficult task.  Additionally, her art is always so full of action and movement, even though it’s confined to the second dimension of the page.  She’s a very imaginative women and always produces unique and fun work.  I’m constantly amazed by her ability to perfectly capture the essence of my favorite written characters and express them as images. 

I adore Jo Chen’s cover Art!  She’s brilliant!!!!
