Rob Reger created Emily the Strange, one of the more recognizable alternative culture characters to come out of the 1990s. What began as a design on stickers and skateboard graphics evolved into a franchise spanning novels, graphic novels, collections, and art books. Reger developed Emily into a fully realized character with her own mythology, one rooted in black cats, dark humor, and an unapologetic outsider attitude.
His literary work includes the Emily the Strange novel series, which began with Lost Days in 2002 and continued through several installments. He also produced the Emily and The Strangers comic series and multiple graphic novel volumes. The Art of Emily the Strange collections showcase the visual design work that gave the character her distinctive look.
Reger’s work sits at the intersection of visual art and storytelling. His books appeal to readers who grew up with the character on T-shirts and posters, as well as younger audiences discovering Emily for the first time through the novels and comics.
