Hope Larson is an American illustrator and cartoonist. Her main field is comic books. Her first professional comic was a web serial entitled I Was There & Just Returned. She contributed to comics anthologies Flight, True Porn 2, and You Ain't No Dancer, while working on a web-serialized graphic novel, Salamander Dream. This eventually became her first full-length book, published by AdHouse Books in September 2005.

In 2016, Larson became the new writer for DC's Batgirl for two years, a run that saw the character go on a back-packing trip through Asia on a voyage of self-discovery.
