Oseman: I’ve drawn myself a few times before but not loads, so it was really fun to draw myself in all kinds of different scenarios for the Yearbook – on holiday, in winter, even in an alternate universe!

PTV: Heartstopper

Oseman: I don’t base characters on people I know in real life – that’s a recipe for disaster because the people always find out one way or another! While the setting of Heartstopper was based on my own school world, the characters all came from my imagination.

Oseman: If you enjoyed Heartstopper, here are some other graphic novels you might enjoy:

  • Bloom by Kevin Panetta and Savannah Ganucheau
  • The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag
  • Twelfth Grade Night by Molly Horton Booth, Stephanie Kate Strohm, and Jamie Green
  • Given by Natsuki Kizu

PTV: The show and your comics have been praised for how they deal with LGBTQ+ representation. How does it feel to know that your work might be the first time some audience members have felt seen?

Oseman:PTV:

Oseman: Keep writing the stuff you want to write and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks.

PTV:

Oseman: We will indeed be following the story of Volume 3, but there will be many surprises in store too. Like season one, certain characters’ stories will expand, and there will be a lot of scenes that are not in the comics…
