***Like Father, Like Daughter*** is an American comic book series that introduced **Invulnerable**, the newest superhero in comics. The book is published by **Short Fuse Media LLC**.

## **Publication**

### **Creation and conception**

The story of ***Like Father, Like Daughter*** began as a class assignment for the then college sophomore student **Kathryn Calamia** who wrote it as a 90-page screenplay.

### **Publication**

After discussing it with her family Calamia decided to adapt her screenplay into a comic book. She had a story but no artist so she made a video on her YouTube channel looking for an artist which gained the attention of Short Fuse Media LLC.

Once the two had teamed up it was full steam ahead as they charted new territory for both parties. They took to crowd funding site **Kickstarter** to fund the project. Utilizing social media and Calamia's presence on YouTube the project was successfully funded, and ***Like Father, Like Daughter #1*** made its way to online retailers and comic book shops. The young creator who is known for her reporting at comic conventions, brought her 1st issue to **Special Edition New York Comic-Con 2015** where she became an exhibitor selling her comic book and related merchandise. On September 5, 2015 the Kickstarter for ***Like Father, Like Daughter #2*** launched.
