The Telegraph has a profile up of 10-year-old comic prodigy Alexa Kitchen:
She’s just ten and she’s already had her second book of comic strips published to great critical acclaim. Her first, Drawing Comics Is Easy! (Except When It’s Hard), was published when she was seven, and nominated for two prestigious cartoon-book awards. Her work made such a splash she was asked to contribute to a major anthology of female cartoonists, which included a story by Joyce Carol Oates and some of the most experienced names in the business. And, if anything more is needed to add to your impression of her extraordinary achievement, it’s only in recent years that women of any age – save the odd notable exception, such as Posy Simmonds – have broken through in the predominantly male world of cartoons and graphic novels. She’s not just a cute kid who can draw a bit; she’s the real deal.
