Keezy Young

Keezy Young is an award-winning, 2x Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator who writes and draws comics and graphic novels. They enjoy writing mystery, horror, love stories, and ghosts, and their vibrant retro color palettes and strong sense of linework help to bring their stories to life. Their work is character-focused, and they often explore LGBTQIA characters and themes. Mental illness is also an important focus in many of their stories. Outside of drawing and making comics, they spend most of their time watching horror movies, listening to oldies tunes, and waiting impatiently for the sun to come out in the Pacific Northwest. Keezy’s latest graphic novel is the ALA award-winning and 2026 Eisner-nominated HELLO SUNSHINE, a YA horror story about a missing teenager. They are also known for their short autobio comic SUNFLOWERS, which was nominated for an Eisner and and Ignatz in 2025, and explores their struggles with bipolar 1 disorder.
