Comic Creator Caitlin Yarsky joins us to discuss her journey from early creative impulses to becoming one of comics’ most distinctive visual storytellers. Known for her work on Coyotes, Bliss, Black Hammer, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Yarsky shares insights into her creative process and evolution.
We explore how Coyotes became a breakthrough moment, the intentional balance of mythology and emotion in her work, and what she learned stepping into beloved universes like Black Hammer and Masters of the Universe. Yarsky discusses the shift to writing and drawing Living Hell, her latest project Untold Stories: Jace at Dark Horse, and how design choices—from lettering to pacing—shape emotional storytelling.
The conversation also examines the reality behind the phrase “comics have always been open to women,” offering perspective on industry access versus genuine creative space.
Topics covered: Early artistic development, the Coyotes-to-Bliss creative arc, craft and visual storytelling, working with legacy properties, the writer-artist experience, and navigating the comics industry as a woman!
