Sarah Byam is an American comic book writer, best known for her work on *Billi 99*, a creator-owned series she wrote for Dark Horse Comics. Born in the United States, Byam began her career in comics in the early 1990s, contributing to a range of titles over more than two decades. Her writing credits span 32 issues, with notable runs on *Black Canary* for DC Comics and *ElfQuest: Hidden Years* for Warp Graphics, as well as shorter projects like *Glyph* and *Il Corvo Presenta*. Byam often collaborated with artists such as Tim Hamilton on *Billi 99*, a dystopian science-fiction story that showcased her interest in blending social commentary with genre fiction. Her style is characterized by sharp dialogue and a focus on character-driven narratives. Later in her career, she remained active in the industry through the 2010s, though her output grew more selective.
