Rachel Nabors (born March 9, 1985) is an American cartoonist, artist, and graphic novelist,^[1] best known for their serialized comic, Rachel the Great, as well as their two graphic novels, 18 Revolutions and Crow Princess.

Nabors was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1985. They left public school in the fifth grade to be homeschooled, and began drawing comics seriously at age fourteen.^[2] They started as a professional cartoonist at age seventeen when they began to receive a steady income from drawing comics.^[3]

They made comics for Gurl.com on a weekly basis until March 2008, when they took a comics hiatus while they straightened out an important jaw surgery and got married. In summer 2010 they had said surgery with the assistance and support of their fans. However, they were unable financially to return to making comics and continued their career in web development instead.^[5]
