Michael Sigman: Girls Gone Graphic: Poseurs Parses... →
Vankin sees her debut book as, “On the surface, a ‘party noir’ about Hollywood nightlife. At its heart, it’s also a story about identity, finding your tribe in life, and self acceptance — the three main characters are all, in their own quirky ways, on a journey of self discovery.”
That self-discovery takes the protagonists through a smorgasbord of fakery and...

What I Learned From Black History Month
Joan Cooper Bacchus Maynard was a boss. She was an art director at McGraw-Hill in the ’60s, and thus had a more “respectable” job than Jack Kirby ever did. She cared deeply about black history and making sure children knew it, both by writing and drawing for Golden Legacy biographical comics and by spearheading the preservation of Weeksville. And I am 99% sure that she...

First pass at a Marcia Snyder wiki page →
This is why I love doing this. I thought that it would be next to impossible to find out which Golden Age creators were queer or women of color, but I’ve now found one lesbian, one black creator who probably worked during the Golden Age (Joan Cooper Bacchus Maynard), and one probably-Asian letterer who worked for Fawcett (Helen Chou). But that information is out there, you just need to...

Issue 3 of my comic's on sale right now. →
stefi-leekx:
Be forewarned, there is violence and bad words. And the cover is kinda graphic even though it’s red ink I splattered on a rosary keychain.
Steph is awesome, go buy her comic!

Sorry for the massive delay, but here it is now!

In case you missed or forgot this (don’t know how you could!) but Kelly Sue DeConnick and Jen Van Meter asked to be withdrawn from the tournament, and I honored their request. They are awesome women and I thank them for their input.

Changes in Tumblr, Important for Comic Community
dcwomenkickingass:
Tumblr is changing from a directory system to Explore which is a popular tag system. Right now there is no “comics” popular tag. What does that mean? It is almost impossible to find comics Tumblrs. What can you do? Tag each of your posts with “comics” - the critical mass of posts with that tag will make Tumblr recognize their comics community.
You can tag your past posts by...
