David Ferguson chatted to Anna Fitzpatrick, creator of the Alien Heart comic, who is also behind works such as Between Worlds and Kore.
The illustrator, designer and webcomic artist is currently working on Volume 2 of Alien Heart, which centres around Ivy, a 16-year-old gay alien facing the end of the world.
During their interview, Anna shares how she created Ivy, her queer sci-fi recommendations and the Alien Heart Kickstarter campaign.What made you choose to do a sci-fi story?I think I’ve always been obsessed with sci-fi, the space opera kind in particular.
It’s all the fun and magic of fantasy but with cool tech, planets, spaceships, and lasers, you know? I was obsessed with Star Wars as a kid, which was weird back then.These days that’s a lot less weird.
