Artist, writer, lover of fine comics (and some pretty trashy ones too). Niki Smith’s work is joyously queer, and she is the author of the Lambda Literary Award-nominated graphic novels The Deep & Dark Blue and Crossplay. Her book The Golden Hour, was a Kirkus, SLJ, and NYPL Best Book of 2021. When she’s not making graphic novels, she’s collecting embroidery hoops and mini-comics and learning to draw boats. Niki now lives in Munich, Germany with her wife and two bilingual cats.
