Megan Delyani

Megan Delyani grew up in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains just outside of San Francisco, California, where she was enchanted by the juxtaposition of deep-forest ghost towns, suburban sprawl, and urban core. She began her comics career in childhood, bringing sketchbooks to restaurants and chronicling the adventures of a wombat that looked suspiciously like Filbert from Rocko’s Modern Life named Wacko, an alien named Schnoz, and Nirvana drummer/Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. This practice blossomed into a series of comic books she wrote and distributed to friends in high school.

After graduating from University of California - Santa Cruz with a degree in history and an extra year’s worth of credits from writing fart jokes for the student comedy newspaper, the Fish Rap Live!, Megan began working on comics again in earnest. The years 2014 to 2017 saw the publishing of a number of comics including The Convent Grove Incident, Spaces, Purissima, and What The Puck, as well as showing work at shows and conventions around the San Francisco Bay Area.

After relocating to Seattle, Washington at the end of 2017, Megan joined the community of artists and B-horror movie enthusiasts in the Push/Pull Art Collective, where she wrote Ghost Pepper, re-wrote The Convent Grove Incident as Convent Grove, wrote the minicomics Beer & Butterfly Kisses, Dystopianna, and Eleni. Megan’s minicomics are distributed nationally by Emerald Comics Distro and can be found (or special ordered) wherever weird comix are sold.

Megan counts the comics Love and Rockets, Octopus Pie, and the works of Katie Skelly as influences, as well as the writing of Shirley Jackson and movies of Ingmar Bergman. When she’s not making comics, Megan enjoys cooking, reading, and yelling about hockey. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her partner, Sara, as well as their cats, Rosie and Miso.
