Georgina Chadderton

Georgina Chadderton (she/they), who also writes as George Rex, is an awkward yet friendly South Australian cartoonist with an undying love of eating snacks, drinking green tea, patting dogs and playing roller derby.

Although Georgina has been published all over the globe, Oh Brother is her first full-length graphic novel. When they’re not making comics, Georgina co-directs Papercuts Comics Festival, runs comics-making workshops and reads comics by their favourite comics makers (basically, it’s all comics, all the time).

Georgina lives on Kaurna Yerta (Adelaide) with her partner Owen and their distressingly large collection of books.
