Hello! I'm Charlotte Applebaum, a student pilot and comics author, and this is a universe of aviation-related comics that I've made! It's called Cloud Run, or CR for short.
Check out the menu in the top right corner to read some comics, learn the story of how these comics came to be, check out over a thousand pages of bonus and behind-the-scenes material, and more.
Happy reading! Thanks for your interest in my art! 😊 ✈️

What is this universe, exactly? The Cloud Run universe is a collection of roughly 100 official comics, written pieces, animations and posters (collectively referred to as "the comics"), as well 270+ "behind the scenes entries" (additional bonus material of a less official nature, mostly prose and artwork) that are all set in the same fictional universe, which is meant to be the real world… only with a little more magic in it.
There are 29 main or recurring characters who make up an ensemble cast, including one nonhuman character, a mysterious shapeshifting spirit known as the ghost airplane, who is sometimes an antagonist and sometimes an antihero. Versions of real-life historical figures also have been known to pop up here and there.
The Cloud Run universe is aviation-themed, and many of the comics revolve around flight instructors and their students. Some of the comics are meant to impart some educational lesson on some aspect of aviation.
The comics in this universe range widely; many are meant to make you laugh, some are meant to make you cry, and a few will hopefully make you both laugh and cry.

The full saga of this universe's beginnings can be found in the "About" tab of this website.
Here are all the Cloud Run characters in a group portrait! All the main characters are pictured, plus some recurring side characters and unnamed one-off characters that don't appear save for a cameo in one comic or another. If you can identify them all, I'll send you a surprise prize!
