Melissa S. Kaercher is a Jane-of-all-trades who currently colors and letters comic books. This growing body of work follows a long train of other projects, including work in web design, writing, performance art, archaeology, and the biological sciences. She holds a BS of Biology from the University of Minnesota, which she garnered while also working on a BA of Fine Arts.

As a self-proclaimed uber-geek, she has named her house Arkham Asylum, and lords over an ever-growing collection of zombie films, computers, and Godzilla action figures. Her adoration of H. P. Lovecraft is legendary.

She lives in Minneapolis, MN, with her pet finch and comic book artist Christopher Jones.
