Addie Parr

I am a comic book artist, illustrator and writer based in Birmingham. My work explores Black history and I have recently completed my first book entitled Heroes of History, which shares the stories of four influential Black historical figures. This book is set for release in November 2025 and will be displayed in a handful of bookshops across Birmingham. My art aims to share stories of people who history often overlooks, and bring their many contributions to light through the use of striking visuals and engaging storytelling. My style draws inspiration from traditional comic styles of the mid-late twentieth century but also includes elements of vintage comic styles to invoke a historical feel.
