Kate Leth is a Canadian author and illustrator working in comics, animation, design, and feelings. A grown-up goth and pop culture devotee, Kate specializes in work for kids and teens. Their comics work includes Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!; Girl Over Paris; Spell on Wheels; and Adventure Time, among others. They live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with an absolutely ridiculous cat and several regrets. They are queer and genderfluid/non-binary, a fact that greatly influences their work. Kate uses they/them pronouns, but probably won’t correct you.

Born and raised in South Africa (with a stint in the Seychelles), she moved to Canada in my teens, and on to the UK in twenties. Her migration-heavy background has had a big influence on her, and fostered a deep interest in hybridity and juxtaposition which influences her work. Her work tends towards gentle, contemplative stories grounded in real life, often with a magic realist twist. She approaches comics with a focus on a story's flow and pacing, appealing page design, and bold, organic lines.
