Early life

Born and raised in Potts Camp, Mississippi, Emily's introduction to the sequential narrative was through Spider-Man comics featured in Electric Company Magazine. She received a Master's Degree in Fine Arts from the sequential art program at Savannah College of Art and Design. She had received her Bachelor's degree from Mississippi State University in Computer Science.

Thomas Mitchell "Coach" Stone, a former basketball coach from Potts Camp, Mississippi, who miraculously guided his small-town, rural team to the overall State Championship in 1961, is Stone's grandfather.

Career

Although most well known for her artwork on the story of Cassie Hack and her partner Vlad in Devil’s Due Publishing's HACK/Slash series, Stone's career in illustration has included a variety of other projects. This includes inking, penciling, or coloring The Ride (published by Image Comics), Jim Henson's comic Return to Labyrinth, and G.I. Joe comics/merchandise. She was also involved in the artwork for 160-page original graphic novel anthology, Lloyd Kaufman Presents the Toxic Avenger and Other Tromatic Tales.

Through HACK/Slash storylines, Stone has drawn numerous pop-culture characters including Reanimator's Herbert West, the Suicide Girls, Milk & Cheese among others. In addition, Stone has also illustrated a cover for Chucky from the Child's Play miniseries and artwork for Batgirl.
