About Casey Connor

As far back as she can , Casey Connor always wanted to be a Goodfeather writer. She's an avid reader of comics, watcher of anime, and lover of bad movies. She lives in the NYC area with her partner and many, many blu-rays.

Author Details

Casey Connor has been writing since she was coming up with self-insert Muppet Babies fanfic on construction paper, and no one's stopped her yet. She loves comics, anime, film, and scripted TV, and subscribes to entirely too many streaming services.

Industry Focus

As a Comics writer, Casey loves covering the Indie scene, from Dark Horse & Oni Press to whatever independently-printed zine Bubbles is excited about this year. She's a lifelong fan of the Batfam, having been inspired to read comics by Batman: The Animated Series. Casey is running out of room for her manga collection.

Favorite Media

Casey wears her heart on her sleeve, as evidenced by her many tattoos. There's love for the classics: Daria, The Simpsons, The Legend of Zelda, Trigun, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. She has spent too much money on Marvel Snap to collect all the Peach Momoko variants, and if you haven't ever seen Knives Out, she will make you watch both movies.
