Joanne Follett

Joanne Follett steps onto the page in 1986, part of the richly drawn ensemble world that Kate Worley and Reed Waller built in Omaha the Cat Dancer for Kitchen Sink Press — one of the Copper Age's most acclaimed and boundary-pushing independent titles. She shares her world with characters like Chuck Katt, Omaha the Cat Dancer herself, and Jerry Davidson, the kind of vivid supporting cast that gave this series its reputation for genuine human complexity. With seven catalogued appearances concentrated in the book's early run, Joanne is one of those characters who rewards readers willing to dig into the indie underground that made this era so exciting.
