Jesse Lonergan was born in California, raised in Saudi Arabia and Vermont, and spent two years in Turkmenistan teaching English with the Peace Corps. His first published work, Flower and Fade, from NBM ComicsLit in 2007, received minimal acclaim, which remained the case for all of his work until 2020, when his wordless sci-fi comic Hedra was published by Image Comics and nominated for an Eisner for best single issue. Since then he has worked as an artist on various projects with Dark Horse, IDW, Humanoids, and others. He likes coffee, baseball, and movies about sad robots.
