Tula Lotay is the pen name of illustrator Lisa Wood. Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, Tula specializes in comics, film and editorial illustration, as well as being the founder and former director of the world-renowned Thought Bubble Festival.
Tula is best known for her interior work on Bodies, All-Star Batman, Supreme Blue Rose, and Scarlet Witch. She is also a prolific and accomplished cover artist, working regularly for Marvel, DC, Image, and BOOM! Studios, along with being a regular contributor on the fronts of such series as Catwoman, The Walking Dead, Faithless, and Bloodshot Reborn. Outside of comics, Lotay is a mainstay in the alternative film poster scene, contributing art to officially licensed projects such as Marvel Studio’s Black Widow, The Handmaiden, Personal Shopper, The Last of Us, and many others.
In 2015 she was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book for The Wicked and The Divine #13. This was followed up with more accolades when Tula was awarded the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award by the San Diego Comic-Con Eisner committee for her charitable and fundraising work in 2019. Her biggest accomplishment yet came once again at SDCC, when, in 2023, she won an Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic for Barnstormers with Scott Snyder and Comixology. She followed that up in 2024 with an Eisner Award for Best New Series for SOMNA.
SOMNA was her first completed book as a DSTLRY founding member and was both written and drawn collaboratively with creator Becky Cloonan. Her next project is Groupies, back at Comixology with writer Helen Mullane.
