A 2010 Eisner Award nominated artist for her work on Aaron Williams' North 40 and a 2011 Shuster Award winner for Outstanding Comic Book Cover Artist, the Canadian-born Fiona Staples' brief career as comic illustrator has been one rich in collaborative talent and diverse productivity. From small, independent works onto coloring John Wagner's Button Man for 2000AD in the span of less than two years, Staples has gained notoriety and acclaim for her varied work on The Secret History of The Authority: Hawksmoor and North 40 for Wildstorm, Mystery Society for IDW Publishing, and, most recently, her covers or interior work for properties such as Jonah Hex, Superman, Batman, and T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. The buzz and attention continues, however, as Staples announced her role as illustrator on the forthcoming Saga title with Brian K. Vaughan from Image Comics in 2012. I had the privilege to chat briefly with Staples at San Diego Comic Con about her life and career in comics.
