In 2014 I was a freshly graduated 20-something with no idea what I wanted to do except draw and make comics. I also had just discovered the wonderful world of self-publishing zines (fanzines are basically just your own magazine!) full of my drawings and comics.

I was throwing a lot of ideas at the wall and one that seemed to resonate with people was this little ghost character and the name ‘the sad ghost club’. I went all in on this character and idea and managed to maintain a job making merch and comics based on it for a good few years before the books came along!

Starting in 2020, the Sad Ghost Club graphic novel series was something I had always dreamed of in the back of my mind, and creating these books has been such a joy every step of the way.

So it’s 10 years later and I’m still drawing an angsty ghost and sharing my feelings with the internet. And it’s great.

The response to that character was so amazing, and it felt like sharing my feelings with the world was helping me process and deal with them. So I continued.

In the beginning I’d make a little comic about feeling lost and think ‘I am the only person who’s feeling this right now, but I might as well share it, because it’s my true feelings.’

And then being inundated with comments and replies from fellow ghosties who shared my feelings was like getting a hug from the internet. And so I wanted to offer that feeling to others if I could.

And thus, the club was born and here we are.

That’s me! Lize Meddings, I do all of the artwork and content that you see here at the club. I’m also the author of the books!!

So basically you can call me Chief Sad Ghost.
