Bio: Hi, I'm Paige Braddock and I'm creator of a comic book titled Jane's World. For twelve years I worked as a visual journalist for a string of newspapers in the east, including the Chicago Tribune and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Even while working in journalism, I spent my free time working on comic concepts, beginning with my youth in the rural South (where there isn't much to do except doodle) and ending in northern California, where I now have the luxury of doing comics for half my week.

Jane's World started out as an online comic in 1996 and then was picked up for online syndication by United Media for their Comics.com site in 2001. After two years of online syndication I decided to make a move to print and published the first Jane comic book at the end of 2002.

This past year Jane was published in French and Spanish… oh yeah, and one 24 page book in Swedish. For more information about our foreign publishers and other news, visit our website.

You can find us at JanesWorldComics.com where you can view updates on the current storylines, order comic books and join the Jane forum. Cheers!
