Anthologies

Much of Matthew Holm’s book career has been about teaming up with other contributors. One fun place that happens is when one of his short stories appears with a group of other creators’ works in an anthology!

Hello Kitty, Hello 40

In 1974, Hello Kitty stepped on the scene, and she's had the world wrapped around her little red bow ever since. Here, some of her biggest fans—from comic artists to muralists to toy creators—pay tribute in story and art.

Foreword by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm, creators of Babymouse
