Comic Writer G. Willow Wilson

Meet the creative force behind Marvel Comics’ first Muslim character with her own solo series, Ms. Marvel. As a special guest of Spokane Community College’s Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities, writer, artist and journalist G. Willow Wilson shares how her own experience as a young Muslim comic book fan in Egypt led her down a path that eventually resulted in a reinvention of Ms. Marvel (otherwise known as Kamala Khan) as a Muslim-American teen living in New Jersey who becomes endowed with superpowers similar to those of her idol, Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel. Wilson’s reimagining of Ms. Marvel debuted in 2014 and was honored with a prestigious Hugo Award for best graphic story in 2015.
