Gabi Mendez is a queer Latinx comics artist and illustrator. Originally from San Pedro, California, Gabi is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the sequential art master's program at SCAD. She writes a lot of silly comics, says "dude" too much, and just wants everyone to be included. Gabi lives in Chicago where she just celebrated her graphic novel debut with Lo and Behold, written by Wendy Mass, and is currently working on her next middle grade graphic novel.
