Debbie Jenkinson is an illustrator and comic artist from Dublin, Ireland, who is active in the small-press comic scene.

She is the creator of a long-form comic, Remorse a story about a young Dubliner who is trapped in a call center job.[1][2][3] It was chosen as runner up on Comicosity's Best of 2015 by Alison Berry.[4]

Jenkinson studied animation in the 1990s at Ballyfermot, when she read and was inspired by Art Spiegelman's Maus.[5] After working in an animation studio in the United States, she returned to Ireland to pursue her MA at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD).[6]

She is co-founder of The Comics Lab, a quarterly meet-up of artists in Ireland.[7] She is a member of the artists collective Stray Lines.[8] She also helped launch the first Graphic Short Prize which is run through The Irish Times with fellow artist Sarah Bowie.[5][9]

Jenkinson speaks about the "magical triangulation" that occurs in comics, between the image, the text, and the reader.[5] "I think our brains take in pictorial information in a different way...a more natural way. There's something really immersive about reading a comic, that's different from reading prose...It's like looking at the world through someone else's eyes."[5]

Jenkinson is a member of Illustrators Ireland, a non-profit professional organization which advocates on behalf of illustrators in the country.[10]
