Portions of Unterzakhn were serialized in HEEB magazine and Lilith magazine.

Corman studied painting, printmaking, and illustration at Massachusetts College of Art. She self-published three issues of the minicomic, Flimflam, while still in college, and won a 1999 Xeric Grant for the graphic novel Queen’s Day.
Her illustrations have appeared on album covers and for PBS, The New York Times, and BUST Magazine. She teaches at the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) in Gainesville, Florida, a low-cost school for comic arts and the University of Florida.
Corman is married to fellow cartoonist (and SAW faculty member) Tom Hart. Hart's book Rosalie Lightning (St. Martin's Press, 2016) is named after their daughter, who died suddenly when she was almost two, and is about Hart and Corman's grief and their attempts to make sense of their life afterwards. The couple have since had another child.
