Dolly Pardon

Dolly Pardon is a 52 page comics anthology which gets into the life of Dolly Parton. I organized this project which involved myself, a dozen cartoonists, a cover artist, and an editor to create an experimental, unofficial, collaborative comics biography of Dolly Parton. I wrote most of the script, and then worked with the artists who were doing their pages, as well as illustrated seven of the interior pages. I am very proud of this biography, which covers niche facts, rather than the usual story of Dolly Parton.

Artists involved in this project are BB Andersson, Caroline Cash, Eileen Chavez, Alecia Gatlin, Kathleen Gros, Avery Jepsen-Minyard, Elodie Kahler, Emily Lewis, Emily Nilsson, Samantha Szabo, Morgan Thomas, Amie Wilensky and Liz Yerby. Additionally, Never Angeline North designed the cover of the book, and CJ Alicandro helped with editing and Ira M Leigh helped with editing, and book design. I (liz yerby) also did editing, and book design work as well as my comics pages.


Dolly Pardon has a color exterior and black and white interior. Is 8.5x5.5” and has a cardstock cover. It is available for purchase here.

Below are some of my pages from the book.
