Corinne Pearlman is an editor of graphic novels and a cartoonist and illustrator. She has worked in publishing for many years as a partner of Comic Company 1986–2020, designing and producing health information resources with some of the UK’s best-known comics artists, and, since 1993, as a designer, then Creative Director and currently Commissioning Editor with Myriad Editions. Books edited by Corinne include the award winning The Roles We Play by Sabba Khan (2021), Becoming Unbecoming by Una (2015), Coma by Zara Slattery (2021), The Black Project by Gareth Brookes (2013) and several titles by Darryl Cunningham from Science Tales (2012) to Putin’s Russia (2021). She has run the biennial Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition since 2012, and is a coordinator of the cartoonists’ network Cartoon County. In 2019 she won the Broken Frontier ‘Hall of Fame’ award for recognising work that champions new talent in comics to bring it to a wider audience. She has recorded aspects of domestic life in cartoons designed for invitations, celebrations, friends and family, and lives among an unpublished miscellany of comics ephemera. She was shortlisted for the Mother Goose Award in 1988 for her illustrations for the children’s picture book Ottoline at the British Museum, written by Sally Craddock.
