fairy tales, comics and science fiction to
Renaissance and Medieval literature, and all things
noir.
As a professor at California State University,
East Bay Ripley taught critical reading and writing
to a culturally diverse mix of college students. She
also taught many literature courses, including
Comics as American Literature, Short Film,
Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature, American

publishing world that feeds her need to write and to
create beautiful designs.
