Noelle Stevenson’s standalone work is anchored by Nimona, the graphic novel that launched her career. Originally a webcomic created while Stevenson was a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Nimona was published in collected form in 2020 and tells the story of a young shapeshifter who teams up with a supervillain in a world that blends medieval fantasy with futuristic technology.
Nimona was a finalist for the National Book Award and has been widely praised for its humor, heart, and willingness to question simple good-versus-evil narratives. The story explores themes of identity, belonging, and what it means to be labeled a monster. Its success helped establish Stevenson as one of the most prominent young voices in comics.
