Barbara Randall Kesel of The Pack

SUPER POWER

Find Weakness: Able to see to the core of a wounded concept and rebuild it from inside to make it stronger by the time it goes to market.

Hummingbird Speed: Able to talk a blue streak and corner on a dime. This power does not affect typing speed. Darn.

SECRET IDENTITY

High-powered guardian to Quirk, the psychotic corgi, and owner of three sewing machines, two computers, and one less day in the week than she’d like!

Barbara denies that she's the cat in our logo. In fact, she insists. Vehemently.

Barbara’s a builder. She’s happier

with nothing at all than the finest

raw materials (okay, so maybe

that’s an exaggeration) because

something can always be made

out of nothing.

She mined her theater degree to bring drama to comics, but found it most useful when dealing with deadline-challenged freelancers.

NOT-SO-SECRET IDENTITY

She started her career in the back of a theater, doing costume design, management, writing, and directing—helping to make something from nothing and then tear it all down again. An attempted kidnapping that ended in a comic book store brought her to the world of comics, and she’s been creating ever since.

She writes! Hawk & Dove. Ultra Girl. Savant Garde. Meridian. The First. Sigil. Solus. Batgirl. Spelljammer. Elseworld’s Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl. Legends of the Dark Crystal. Aliens: Booty. Comics’ Greatest World: Golden City. Catalyst: Agents of Change. Uncanny X-Patrol.

She edits! Watchmen. Hellboy. Star Wars: Dark Empire. Adv. Dungeons & Dragons. Forgotten Realms. New Teen Titans. Tailgunner Jo. ACW: Deadman. Aliens: Hive.
