Each year, San Diego Comic Con hosts the Eisner Awards, which highlight the accomplishments and achievements of creator’s and industry professionals in comic books. For our annual relaunch of the GCE podcast, we spoke to first-time Eisner Award nominee Rachel Smythe.

The New Zealand writer and artist is known for her Webtoon webcomic Lore Olympus, chronicling the mythological romance between Hades and Persephone. Set amongst a more contemporary background, the story deviates from the original tale, but has hooked in more than one million readers, per week. With an overall readership of 161 million, it is currently the number one series on the Webtoon platform.
