Invisible Illness:
Ripple Effects
a Graphic Novel

Jordan Hart (creator/writer/colorist)
Jordan Hart is a writer with published work across multiple types of media, including
humor articles, short fiction, and comic books. Jordan’s first graphic novella, Terminarch,
a story about the enduring appeal of art after an android revolution, was released in 2016.
From 2017 to 2018, his horror miniseries, Doppelgänger, was published along with his
sci-fi graphic short story, “Emergence.” The initial concept for Ripple Effects came to
him shortly after he was diagnosed with an incurable blood-clotting disorder. A life-long
fan of comics, he went to his first comic convention as a seven-year-old in the party room
of a bowling alley. You can find Jordan digging through long boxes at every Southern
California comic convention or on Instagram at @jordyjordith.
