Spectra is an autistic American creator currently based in England. Their sense of adventure and love took them from Virginia to Toronto, Canada, where they lived for many years before immigrating to the UK – and it’s their love for Toronto that helped form the story and universe of Latera back in early 2010. They are the sole creator of Latera but credits a number of people for help with its plot, including former roommates and current friends.
They began drawing and writing from an early age and firmly believe it’s never too early or too late to become an artist. They have a great love for cats, fancy coffee, webcomics, crochet, and their devoted British partner of nine years.
Planet Spectra is the home of their creative mind – the name was coined when Spectra once joked that they’re big and round enough to have their own orbit!
