Kelly Thompson
Kelly Thompson is an American writer of novels and comic books. She is best known for the Jem and the Holograms comic with co-creator and artist Sophie Campbell, a modern re-imagining of the 1980s series of the same name; the Eisner-nominated Marvel comic Hawkeye with artist Leonardo Romero, which stars Kate Bishop; and Captain Marvel featuring Carol Danvers with artist Carmen Carnero and colorist Tamra Bonvillain. Her other works include the novel The Girl Who Would Be King and comic series A-Force (vol. 2), West Coast Avengers (vol. 3), Jessica Jones (vol. 2), Mr. & Mrs. X (vol. 1), and Black Widow (vol. 8).
She is also the co-creator of the character Jeff the Land Shark and writer of his digital Infinity Comics series It's Jeff!.
Thompson has won three Eisner Awards – Best New Series for Black Widow (vol. 8) in 2021, Best Humor Publication for It's Jeff: The Jeff-Verse in 2024, and Best New Series for Absolute Wonder Woman in 2025.
Thompson stated she had "been writing in some way shape or form for about as long as [she] can remember." Thompson graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in Sequential Art.
What is life but laughing and crying? It's what we got [...] I want to lighten things up with jokes because I want to make you laugh and then I want to break your heart and then I want to make you laugh again.
Thompson got her start in the comics industry as staff writer for the website CBR, where she worked from 2009 to 2015 writing reviews and She Has No Head!, a column centered around women in comics.
In 2014, IDW Publishing announced Thompson would write their new Jem and the Holograms comic with artist Sophie Campbell, a modern re-imagining of the animated series. Thompson wrote the comic for two years, with the first issue released in March 2015 and concluding with issue #26 on June 14, 2017.
During the 2015 "Secret Wars" storyline, Thompson co-wrote her first Marvel comic, a four issue tie-in series titled Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps with Kelly Sue DeConnick. She also wrote the solo series of Kate Bishop, the second Hawkeye. It followed Bishop, who opened her own detective company on the west coast of the United States. For her work on Hawkeye, Thompson was nominated for an Eisner for best continuing series in 2018. The series was cancelled by Marvel after 16 issues in 2018.
