About Me
Hi! My name is Rebecca Good (née McConnell). I am a freelance illustrator and Pulitzer Prize winning comic book colorist based in Milwaukee, WI. Since 2013, I've colored comics with Image Comics, Boom, Legendary Pictures, MacMillan Books, HarperCollins, and more. I'm best known for my color work on The Old Guard: Tales Through Time (Image), "How I Escaped A Chinese Internment Camp (Insider.com). I also like to create silly comics, and educational comics with a kid-friendly feel. When I'm not drawing or coloring, I enjoy petting my cat Vivian, and spending time watching cartoons with my husband Tom.
