Štěpánka Jislová is a Czech illustrator and comics artist. Born in the early 90s in Prague, the intricacies of post Soviet block Europe remain one her favorite topics to explore. She is the (co)author of eight comics albums, the latest being Heartcore, an intimate autobiography about relationships, attachments and the toxic cycles we so often call love. You can also find her work in various anthologies, such as Aargh!, Bobla or Dirty Diamonds. Apart from making comics, she illustrates books, writes scripts, gives lectures and tends to two lone plants that managed to survive her care.
