WORKING THE MARGINS: WOMEN IN THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY by WESLEY CHENAULT Under the Direction of Marian Meyers ABSTRACT Women have been involved in the writing, illustrating, and production of comic books at almost every step of the genre’s development. The years between the late 1960s and the late 1990s were tumultuous for the comic book industry. At the societal level, these years were saturated with changes that challenged normative ideas of sex roles and gender. The goal of this study is two-fold: it documents the specific contributions to the comic book industry made by the women interviewed, and it addresses research questions that focus on gender, change, and comic books. -

VFW Into 2007 Or Even Beyond, but I Didn’T Expect It to Mutate from a Two-To-Four Page Local Newszine Into a Full-Fledged Genzine with a Huge Worldwide Readership
1 This is the 100th Vegas Fandom Weekly. That surprises me even more than it does you. I’ve never done 100 of any fanzine. Whim has often ruled my fanac and once I feel I’ve met the challenge of one project, I begin to divert energy to the next one. Almost before I notice, I’ve stopped one fanzine and started another. Yet here I am, ready to follow Brad Foster’s front-cover injunction to celebrate 100 issues. Actually, I might have been willing to make an optimistic prediction about continuing VFW into 2007 or even beyond, but I didn’t expect it to mutate from a two-to-four page local newszine into a full-fledged genzine with a huge worldwide readership. That weekly schedule — The zine’s slogan called it “sorta weekly” even when it came out weekly for well over a year — is just a memory, but the average issue is now 28 pages. Truthfully, it’s more like a powerful drug. Right now, I simply can’t imagine not producing more issues. I have ideas for other fanzines I’d like to try, but VFW shows no sign of loosening its grip on my fanpublishing. Frankly, I can’t even bring myself to change the zine’s name. I have this waking nightmare that world climate change will one day force me to move somewhere else and that I will leave Core Fandom for an obsession with metal detecting or something else of that ilk — but I’ll still be producing regular issues of something that isn’t “Vegas,” “Fandom” or “Weekly” under the same old logo.
