The Meek is a fantasy webcomic written and drawn by Der-Shing Helmer. The Meek takes place in a fantasy universe and focuses on the protagonist Angora, a young girl with a magical ability to control plants who is trying to reach a place she calls "the center".[2] However, The Meek follows multiple narratives with several different characters from across the world. Each chapter exclusively follows one of these separate narratives. The plot concerns a war that is brewing between several of the world's ethnic clans, notably the Carissi and the Pasori people.[3]
The Meek usually updates once or twice a week. It is also translated into Russian, French, and Slovene.[4]
Der-Shing Helmer is a high-school biology teacher, and writes The Meek in her spare time.[3] Helmer says she draws inspiration from biology when designing the world of The Meek.[5][6]
The Meek is merchandised and set to be published through 4th Dimension Entertainment, a publishing company in Carmichael, Northern California.[7]
