I grew up in the forests of upstate New York, where I spent the first half of my childhood reading about fantastical adventures and the second half acting them out with foam swords at a live action roleplaying camp . I currently live in Brooklyn and graduated in 2014 from the School of Visual Arts, where I studied cartooning and illustration. My artistic interests include women in fiction, fantasy and sci fi, superheroes, and history. I illustrate a twice weekly webcomic called Strong Female Protagonist, which was listed as one of io9's Best New and Short Webcomics of 2012 and recently wrapped up a successful Kickstarter to print the first volume, coming out September 2014.

Strong Female Protagonist: Book One

Written by Brennan Lee Mulligan and drawn by Molly Ostertag - Graphic Novel

With superstrength and invulnerability, Alison Green used to be one of the most powerful superheroes around. Fighting crime with other teenagers under the alter ego Mega Girl was fun --- until an encounter with Menace, her mind-reading arch enemy, showed her evidence of a sinister conspiracy, and suddenly battling giant robots didn't seem so important. Now Alison is going to college and trying to find ways to help the world while still getting to class on time. It's impossible to escape the past, however, and everyone has their own idea of what it means to be a hero.
