Sarah Dyer is an American comic book writer and artist, born in 1978. She emerged from the zine movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s, a grassroots scene that shaped her voice. Dyer is best known for her self-published series *Action Girl Comics*, which won the Friends of Lulu "Lulu of the Year" award in 1998. She has also contributed to *Superman Adventures*, *The Collected Dork*, and the *Beasts of Burden* series, including *Occupied Territory* and *What the Cat Dragged In*. Her credits span artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer across 36 issues from 1991 to 2025. Dyer’s style blends sharp, expressive linework with a keen sense of character-driven storytelling. She has collaborated with creators like Evan Dorkin, with whom she worked on *Amy Racecar Color Special* and other projects. Her work often balances humor and heart, reflecting her indie-comics roots. Dyer’s legacy includes helping to amplify women’s voices in comics through her zine and anthology work. She remains active in the field, with her later projects continuing to explore genre and slice-of-life narratives.
