Françoise Mouly (French: [muli]; born 24 October 1955) is a Paris-born New York-based designer, editor, and publisher.
She is best known as co-founder, co-editor, and publisher of the comics and graphics magazine Raw (1980–1991), as the publisher of Raw Books and Toon Books, and since 1993 as the art editor of The New Yorker.
Mouly is married to cartoonist Art Spiegelman, and is the mother of writer Nadja Spiegelman. As editor and publisher, Mouly has had considerable influence on the rise in production values in the English-language comics world since the early 1980s.
She has played a role in providing outlets to new and foreign cartoonists, and in promoting comics as a serious artform and as an educational tool.
