		Colleen Doran became famous around my parts for "A Distant Soil", the story about these two siblings, who have special powers, and, as it later on shows, they are Avatar-priests of their planet by birth.
		Colleen Doran's artwork for the novels is gorgeous, detailed, girly and have a bit of Raphaelian fleshiness, which prevents it from becoming bubbles of show-off skills.
		Colleen Doran intrigues me not only for her very skilled art, but also for her versality, for example: pick up "A Distant Soil" (for example HERE, online and legal and free of charge) and after that "Orbiter" and you know, what I mean.

	NekoCon - Colleen Doran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Colleen Doran, best known for her magnum opus "A Distant Soil," notes that girls' comics in Japan aren't all about hearts and flowers, since there are some horror stories in the genre.
		Doran points to the political paranoia of the 1950's and a book, "Seduction of the Innocent," that attacked comics as harmful to children.
		Doran feels that damaged the appeal of all comics and hastened the demise of the romance books that once were common on newsstands.

	The Friday Review: Orbiter
		Colleen Doran's artwork is beautiful; incredibly intricate and detailed, equally adept at depictions of a shantytown as at capturing the high technology of a space shuttle.
		Doran is also one of the finest artists in the business at capturing degrees of emotion.
		For the most part, Doran excels, as in the ever-subtle and changing but always realistic body language, the excellent use of variety to make talking scenes constantly interesting, and the detail on and inside the shuttle, all showing that this has been an incredible labour of love.

		When I first encountered Colleen Doran and A Distant Soil, it was the early 80s, and a preview of A Distant Soil had just appeared as a special insert in Elfquest #16.
		Doran's art is one that's always seemed to not so much sit on the page as flow across it.
		Doran's page layouts are sharp, normally sticking to a normal structure, but then breaking from it for moments above and beyond the normal realm; Rieken and D'Mer's first appearance, for instance, is heralded by the normal panel layout almost shattering as they suddenly spill across the page in all their glory.

	BookBag@theLogBook.com \| A Distant Soil - The Gathering
		Colleen Doran's A Distant Soil is nothing if not ambitious; Doran has been working on the story for over a decade, mixing science fiction, Arthurian legend, traditional fantasy and other elements into a far-reaching epic.
		Having already praised the premise, the writing, and the artwork, I should take a moment to commend Doran on her cast of characters, which draws from a diverse range of ethnicities, social strata, and sexual orientations in a realistic manner.
		It really only makes sense - Doran has worked hard to make this fantastic world as believable and detailed as possible, and the diversity of the cast is but one of the ways she accomplishes this.

	The Friday Review: A Distant Soil: The Gathering
		Colleen Doran's science fiction saga A DISTANT SOIL is one of comics' most intelligent and engaging longform serials.
		Doran not only handles this ensemble with ease and aplomb, but also does a great deal of work setting up future volumes.
		While it sounds obvious, Doran is a very artistic writer, letting the posture and expressions of her characters pass on at least as much information as the dialogue.

	Interview with Colleen Doran by Jeff Mason
		Colleen Doran: A Distant Soil is different from the earlier editions because I was quite dissatisfied with the editorial direction on the earlier editions of the series and so, when I finally achieved a little more creative autonomy, I completely rewrote and redrew all of the earlier material.
		Doran: I will say this: three months after the strip was published (which, I must add I've never seen because I do not subscribe to the Comics Buyer's Guide), this Ahern person wrote a lengthy letter in which he angrily defended himself against his critics.
		Doran: My principal objections concern the failure of the distributors to notify us in a timely enough fashion so that the publishers could reschedule or reimplement their operations to accommodate the new policies.

	: RevolutionSF - Orbiter : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Colleen Doran's art is lovely but lacks some of the technical expertise of an artist who has grown up under the tutelage of a strong visual editor.
		Doran's art, having been honed in a fantasy milieu, felt somewhat out of place here, but Ellis seems to take enormous pains to work with a variety of talented and capable artists and I suspect that he got results close to what he envisioned.
		On the positive side, some of the dialogue scenes between the characters are illustrated in an unorthodox and fresh fashion that a more traditional artist wouldn't have attempted and that lend a note of intimacy to some of the exchanges.

	Neko-Con - Colleen Doran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		After the 2001 release of the final volume of that story, Doran plans to move on and create only graphic novels instead of serializing stories, saying that it's easier to create one large story instead of the many pieces of cover art needed for monthly issues.
		Doran also hopes to spend more time on another project which she couldn't discuss at Neko-Con.
		Doran understands the comparison (and notes that her art is going in an Italian gallery with other yaoi work), but says her drawing is based more on the styles of artists, such as Aubrey Beardsley, who worked in fl ink only.

		Author Colleen Doran began publishing this series (its been redrawn for this release) when she was in her teens.
		I should preface this by saying that Colleen Doran's A Distant Soil is the first graphic novel I've read since The Watchmen, some thirteen years ago, and so I may be missing some of the subtleties involved.
		Doran seems to be trying (as Neil Gaiman says in his introduction to the book) to cram just a little too much into the space provided.
