Author: Mei Lian Hoe

Mei is a third year English Literature undergraduate at University College London. They can usually be found crying about having too much to read or getting into heated debates about superhero films. They enjoy reading comics, talking about comics, making comics, and thinking about comics. Outside of that narrow sphere, they dabble in the arts: illustration, creative writing, playwrighting, and existential contemplation. They have helped with the direction and production of multiple shows in UCLU Drama Society. They are also a budding actor: they act like everything is okay, every day. Mei mostly spends their days thinking about the apocalypse and planning their multiple unfinished projects.
