Featuring: Katie Houghton-Ward 
Katie Houghton-Ward has been in the comic book industry for over 20 years and doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon.

After working with some independent US comic book publishers on various titles, Katie was approached by Heavy Metal magazine who optioned her creator owned series ‘Khulan’, which was published in serialised form in the magazine.

Gestalt Publishing then collected the ‘Khulan’ series and, in turn, Katie started working with writer Gary Proudley as one of the artists on the sword and sorcery series, ‘Talgard’.

She is currently editing her finished Khulan graphic novel and working with Simon Bisley on preparing this for release later this year.

Katie has just illustrated the first three issues of ‘Dark Heart’ for ‘INDIGIVERSE’ under Gestalt Publishing.

This event is part of the annual Perth Comic Arts Festival, a completely free to attend, volunteer run celebration of comics, their creators and readers.
