(I-Newswire) March 11, 2010 - It took her almost a decade to become an "overnight" success as a comic artist working on Y: The Last Man with Brian K Vaughn. As one of the few women working in comics, two-time Eisner award winning artist Pia Guerra has a lot to say about the industry.

It is not often that an artist's first major work involves working with the hottest comic writer in the business. And it rarely happens that their first collaboration becomes an instant hit before the first issue even comes out. And it never happens that the artist would be a woman. At least it didn't happen until Pia Guerra started work on Y: The Last Man with mega writer Brian K. Vaughn.

In Y: The Last Man something mysterious wipes out every creature with a Y chromosome except for a man named Yorick and his pet male monkey Ampersand. What follows is 5 years and 60 issues of travel as Yorick and his two companions attempt to figure out why he's the world's last man and how the human race can be saved.

This week, Pia sits down with the guys from The Dollar Bin Podcast to talk about her experiences in the comics industry, what it was like working on one of comic's biggest hits, her love of Dr Who and why she loved working on Dr Who: The Forgotten, and where her career is headed next.
