Yoko Molotov is from Louisville, KY nestled in the basin of a polluted river. She decided at age 9 she would do comics, at that age on college rule and the backs of important documents like her original birth certificate. Five years later she discovered the saccharine and disturbing world of Manga and Anime and knew it was where she belonged. Inspired by such artists as Mita Ryuusuke (Dragon Half) and studio GAINAX (Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL), Havery Pekar and Will Eisner, she draws constantly. In 2006 Yoko made top 20 in Tokyo Pop s Rising Stars of Manga Competition with her entry NecrOphealia and went along to create a Shoujo ai Web Manga called Stray Crayons . Yoko Molotov is a freelance artist, her published works including NecrOphealia and the Stray Crayons series, along with digital toning and lettering of The Misadventures of Don Quioxte and the lettering of Midnight Blue. Yoko loves her city, freshwater fish keeping, music, zombies, and her best friends in the more than anything in the entire world. She always has her nose buried in a book, or is getting kicked out of somewhere quiet.
