Maggie Thompson

San Diego Comic Fest fan guest of honor Maggie Thompson
Maggie Thompson has written and edited news and articles about comic books and comic strips for more than half a century. Her earliest such work was in 1961, appearing in the pioneering fan publication Comic Art, co-edited with Don Thompson. Other output has included a miscellany of credits, including a four-issue story arc for Innovation’s Dark Shadows series and indexes for Fantagraphics’ newspaper-strip collections of Walt Kelly’s Pogo. After three decades of co-editing the industry publication Comics Buyer’s Guide, she has provided regular contributions to Comic-Con’s Toucan website and to Gemstone Publishing’s Scoop newsletter. Among goals for 2018 is a redesign and updating of her website at www.maggiethompson.com.
