Jennifer Camper is a cartoonist and graphic artist whose work is inspired by her own experiences as a Lebanese-American lesbian.

In an interview with Rob Kirby on The Comics Journal, Camper stated that she "sort of fell into it and just continued.

From early childhood I played with all kinds of art forms, including comics and illustrated stories.

"[1] After gaining support and inspiration from the world around her, Camper began creating full-length comics throughout high school and college.

"[4] Her editing of this book is very significant due to it being the first anthology of queer comics to have appeared since the release of Gay Comix.

MK Czerwiec mentions that Camper's Bearing Angry Witness was an important influence on her work.

"[8] Camper's work has oft been praised for the way it tackles political and social issues throughout the world, but for also how it personally affects others.

"In times of crisis, the profound infuses what should be the mundane; everyday details of life become absurd reminders of great loss and pain.

This was an important lesson I brought to my own work,"[5] this is what MK Czerwiec stated in their paper Representing AIDS in Comics.

[1] Camper also described how Howard Cruse's work and extraordinary talent paved the way and influenced her own path into the world of queer comics in another interview.
