Career
Chiang broke into comics in the mid-1970s, freelancing for Marvel Comics.

Titles Chiang has been particularly associated with include Transformers, Visionaries, Rom, Conan the Barbarian (1982–1990), Alpha Flight (1987–1994), Iron Man (1987–1990), Ghost Rider vol. 2 (1990–1996), What If?? (1990–1995), and Impulse (1999–2002). Since the late 1990s her credits have not been as frequent, but she has maintained a steady output. Chiang's manga lettering work on series CHIKYU MISAKI and EMMA were both honored by being chosen as book of the month by NewType magazine which reviewed new anime and manga releases.
