After graduating from UCLA, Lay entered the
comics industry at DC Comics and Western Publishing, while simultaneously
writing and drawing underground comics for titles such as Weirdo and her own
Good Girls
She is the author of Mythos, a prose novel
featuring Wonder Woman (DC/Pocket Books, 2003),[2] Goodnight, Irene: The
Collected Stories of Irene Van de Kamp (Last Gasp, 2007), and The Big Skinny:
How I Changed My Fattitude, a Memoir (Villard, 2008).
In 2012, Lay and a friend started Waylay
Comics to adapt her long-out-of-print and never-before-reprinted weekly strips
into the Mobipocket format for Kindle.
From 2010-2013,
Lay wrote and drew Simpsons stories for Bongo Comics.
its crazy to think the contribution it takes to create stories and comics such as the DC marvel series, Simpsons etc. The feeling of contribution to such successful shows and stories must be great.

Carols education and achievements are very impressive (mostly because I'm a huge comic book fan). you can see in how the action sequences in her comic translates from work with superhero comic books.

This was a huge shock for me when I saw this. I had no idea that she had been such a large contributor to such well known comic companies. I don't typically like action comics but knowing such a large company like Marvel that is a big deal. I am curious if she has done more work that maybe challenges women stereotypes in comic books? This link is more of a breakdown of the typical stereotypes of men versus women in games and comics which are heavily male influenced.
