My So-Called Secret Identity is a superhero comic series in which the protagonist is a PhD student whose superpower is her intelligence. Created collaboratively by cultural studies and cinema professor Will Brooker, illustrator Susan Shore, and artist, game designer, and historian Sarah Zaidan, the series launched as a webcomic in 2012. Over the next four years the series would grow to influence other artists and creators, becoming a text in and of itself. The series' use of mind mapping to illustrate its protagonist's thoughts was a unique aspect of the comic, and the processes and reasoning involved in their creation contain and reflect artistic and academic influences central to the comic itself. In this article, Zaidan discusses how she transforms the mind map from a learning tool into a tool of storytelling and the integral role digital comic distribution and crowdfunding played in the reception and impact of the series.
