Mindy Newell (born October 24, 1953) [1] is an American comic book artist and editor, best known for her work with DC Comics.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Newell graduated from high school in 1971 [2]. She then attended the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to study nursing, an occupation that her parents believed was a suitable career choice for their daughter. [3] Following her nursing schooling, Newell enrolled at Quinnipiac University and studied biology while working as a nurse. [3] She is a single mother of one daughter whose name is Alixandria. [3]
A longtime fan of comics, particularly of Marvel's Spider-Man, Mindy Newell sent submissions to DC Comics in 1983 at a time when the company was actively looking for new talent. Her first professional work was her creation of the character Jenesis, who appeared in three issues of New Talent Showcase. [4] Editor Karen Berger called her in for an interview four days after DC received her submission, according to the creator biography in New Talent Showcase #9. Jenesis, whose real name was Alix Ward, was named after Newell's daughter, Alixandra . Hired by editors Dick Giordano and Karen Berger, Newell wrote fill-in issues for Legion of Super-Heroes and Action Comics. [5] In 1986, she and artist Gray Morrow collaborated on a Lois Lane limited series which dealt with the subject of missing children. [6] In addition, Newell wrote Wonder Woman and Her Sister's Keeper, a seminal Catwoman limited series. [7] Newell also briefly worked on First Comics's American Flagg and Eclipse Comics's The New Wave. [5]
Newell has always maintained a career as a nurse while writing comics, and has since returned to that occupation full-time. [8]
Newell is a full-time nurse and mother, while still contributing to comics and other projects. Her spouse John Higgins is a British comic book writer, illustrator, and letterer.
Written by Mindy Newell, with art by J.J. Birch, Catwoman picked up where Frank Miller's " Year One" story arc left off.
