This is the very last time I will mention Andrew Pepoy. Some people may know that name well, a best-selling comic book artist, writer and inker, who began working in the mainstream comic book industry in the nineties as a professional artist while still in college at Loyola University Chicago. Then working on a large variety of comics, for Marvel, DC, IDW, Dynamite and more, including Fables, Robin, New Warriors, Maverick, Red Sonja, Turtles, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Cable, Scooby-Doo, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Simpsons, Betty & Veronica, Birds of Prey, Godzilla, Ghost Rider, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Katy Keene, and Dick Tracy, as well as redesigning the Little Orphan Annie newspaper strip, and drawing it for a year. A lot of credits, but they will now be seen under a different name.

Because we now have a new name for her, Margeaux Pepoy. She writes to Facebook, "Hi! You've known me as Andrew for many years, but today I'm finally letting you all know that I'm Margeaux. Pronounced Mar-go. I've known I was different since I was a kid, but it's only in recent times that I stopped being scared and embraced what that was. I'm excited and nervous about going public, but it's time I live as my true self. I understand this will take some getting used to, but I'm still the person you always knew: I still love comics, music, and all the same things, and I'm still going to draw fun comics and tell dumb jokes. I'm very fortunate to have the support of my partners, many friends, and some family. Kind questions are welcome. I'm happy and hope you all can be happy for me."

And she has allowed Bleeding Cool to "announce" the news more widely – consider this the equivalent of an announcement in the London Times newspaper for the world we live in today. And you can see her new work, under her new name, with the 2026 Street Sharks Annual published by IDW, Sex, Spies & Rock 'n Roll from Jeff Messer and SHIFT, and her own The Adventures of Simone & Ajax from Spicy Tomato Studios. She tells Bleeding Cool, "I'm excited to be making comics now as Margeaux, and I have several exciting projects in the works I'll be revealing in the coming months."
We look forward to all of this… and whatever else she does next. Margeaux Pepoy will also be appearing at the end of the month in Chicago for C2E2, at Artist Alley table Y-2, with art, prints, comics, and a brand-new Artist Alley banner!
