Elizabeth Chou, News Editor

Liz was once a character in a comic strip, but has since moved on to real life, or so she thinks. She lives in Monterey Park, CA which is one giant park, and that makes her happy. Liz spends her days writing about city hall politics, community businesses, the local “duck man,” and the occasional art show.

Sarah Morean, Mini-Comics Editor

Sarah Morean makes comics and zines in the Midwest. She’s had a lot of jobs, mostly in libraries and museums. Someday soon, she’d like to go back to school and study something new. Life’s more interesting to her when she’s delaying the real world. She and her boyfriend have an imaginary cat, Charles Kensington, who is very well-behaved.

Jillian Steinhauer, Contributor

Jillian Steinhauer looks best when drawn as a comic character by the ever-sharp pen(cil) of her sister. She likes comics and writing about them, as well as art and writing about it, and she’s done that for various publications including The Brooklyn Rail, The Village Voice, and NY Arts magazine. When she’s not writing, you can most likely find her speaking Italian to anyone who will speak it with her, day-dreaming of bright colors, or cooking pasta.

Mission Statement

The Daily Cross Hatch was created with the intention of spotlighting the absurd amount of talent currently toiling away in the world of alternative comics, and bringing into focus some of those artists attempting to break into this largely thankless field. Our goal to provide information in the form of news stories, interviews, reviews, and features, in order to keep fans a bit more connected into the goings on of this sometimes enigmatic field. We’re also attempting to keep things relatively ‘underground.’ We love tights and taglines as much as the next blog staff, but let’s face it, if that’s what you’re really looking for, there are more than a few places around to appease your needs.

Oh, and we love mail. If you’re interested in submitting materials for review consideration, writing for us, or just want to let us know how we’re doing, please drop us a line.

And if you’d like to submit a mini, please send it along to Sarah, at: Sarah Morean/The Daily Cross Hatch PO Box 3629 Minneapolis, MN 55403-9998
