It’s a welcome return for the woman behind one of the most influential creator-owned series in comics’ history. In addition to winning awards for A Distant Soil, Doran has also been at the heart of a number of award-winning works, including Sandman, Mangaman, Tori Amos Comic Book Tattoo, Gone to Amerikay, and Amazing Fantastic Incredible Stan Lee.
After Long Struggle with Autoimmune Disease
Posted by Betsy Gomez on October 25, 2017 @ 3:48 pm CT
Colleen Doran is back to work. Doran, the creator of A Distant Soil, has had a years-long struggle with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid and causes fatigue, chronic muscle and joint pain, depression, and other symptoms. Doctors only identified the condition last year, which meant that Doran wasn’t able to receive adequate treatment for the disease until recently.
The disease has interfered with Doran’s ability to work for several years. Doran has publicly shared her struggle with the disease via social media and in her blog. In her most recent post, she announced that she is back to working regularly. Doran didn’t provide details on her projects, but her work has recently appeared in Dark Horse’s American Gods adaptation (see “'American Gods Volume 1: Shadows'”), in the Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary Special (see “Confessions of a Comic Book Guy - What A Little Politeness Can Accomplish”), and among Image’s Women’s History Month variant covers (see “Image Reveals Women's History Month Variants”).
