Career[edit]
Chin's early work with DC began with Guy Gardner Warrior.[1] She later progressed to work on a number of variant covers, mini-series, and special projects,[1] including Xena: Warrior Princess, Vampirella, Tomb Raider, Red Sonja, and Wynonna Earp, among others. Her collaborations include work alongside her husband Arthur Adams, comic writer Gail Simone, and frequent cover art projects with Ivan Nunes.[1][2]
Style[edit]
Chin's work on Vampirella has been described as similar in style to that seen in Mucha paintings.[3] Her depictions of superheroes and warriors has been grounded in her belief that costumes need to match the attitude of the characters wearing them.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Chin is married to fellow comics artist Arthur Adams, whom she met at the 1996 San Diego Comic-Con.[4] The two have inked each others' pencils.[5][6] As of 1997 they lived in Portland, Oregon.[7] They later moved to San Francisco, California,[8] before settling in Walnut Creek.[4]
In March 2019, while at a Chicago airport during her journey to the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, Chin suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, or stroke, resulting from a brain aneurysm, and broke an ankle during the fall that followed her loss of consciousness. Following emergency brain surgery on March 22 Chin told Bleeding Cool that she suffered no loss of cognitive or motor functioning.[9][10] A GoFundMe page was set up to help defray her medical bills, while Dynamite Entertainment announced it would release a lithograph of Chin's artwork that served as the cover of Vampirella #20 in 2001, in order to raise additional funds.[9][11] Any surplus funds would go to the Hero Initiative charity.[9]
Awards[edit]
Chin received an Inkpot Award at Comic-Con International in 2017.[12]
