Amy Chu
Career[edit]
In 2010, Chu started Alpha Girl Comics when she and her friend, Georgia Lee, discussed the lack of female voices in comics.[11][7] Chu took a course in creative writing and developed her interest in comics writing from there.[9][12] She has continued to focus on the lack of representation of women in the comics industry speaking on panels at comic events.[13]
She published three collections of short stories under Alpha Girl Comics titled Girls Night Out from 2012 to 2014.[14] Several were funded through Kickstarter, as well as in 2017, a remaster and collection of all three volumes into paperback format.[15]
Chu has been writing Red Sonja for Dynamite Entertainment since late 2016.[16] She also started working on Dynamite’s KISS in 2016.[17] Chu took over writing duties for Dynamite’s Green Hornet beginning with the 2018 run.[18]
Chu was recognized as a cultural leader of the year for 2018 by the Corea Image Communications Institute and said she had plans to write a comic in Seoul.[19]
