Quit City is illustrated by indy fave Laurenn McCubbin. In Quit City, according to Ellis, Emma Pierson is part of an elite group: brave and skilled technological explorers. She’s the classic pulp adventure heroine, thrown into reverse. She's the aviator heroine who's turned her back on it all. She's quit and gone home. She actually thinks she can go back to her old life, and that nothing's going to follow her. And she's almost right.
