Lauren Davis

Lauren Davis almost became a lawyer but found that her love of research and sharing weird facts was better suited to comics. After receiving her JD from the Georgetown University Law Center, Lauren wrote for several years at the speculative fiction blog io9 and eventually got her MFA in comics at the California College of the Arts.

Along with Melanie Hilario and Katie Longua, Lauren is part of the Eisner-nominated team Triple Dream Comics. Together, they created the middle grade graphic novels "Debian Perl, Digital Detective" and "Agent Cupcake." Their short story "Traitor, Trickster, Dummy, Doll" appeared in The Nib and was nominated for the 2022 Eisner Award for Best Short Story.

In addition to making comics, Lauren is a teaching artist and a longtime organizer of San Francisco Zine Fest. She also collected, edited, and published the comics anthologies "The Comic Book Guide to the Mission" and "Sci-Fi San Francisco." Her 12-year-old self would be proud that she wrote a book about unicorns.
