HISTORIAN TO LECTURE AT EIU CHARLESTON -- Trina Robbins, one of the most prominent woman cartoonists in the country, will discuss the history of women in comics as part of Eastern Illinois University's Women's History and Awareness Month celebration. Robbins' lecture, "Women in Comics," will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 10, in Lumpkin Hall, Room 17. Admission to the event is free and open to the public. A historical perspective on the role of women in comics, both as characters and writers, is the focus, said Annette Samuels, program director for The Women's Advocacy Council. Robbins has been a comic book illustrator since 1970 when she edited the first all-woman comic book, "It Ain't Me, Babe." Her work spans three decades with the 1999 release of her new bilingual children's book, "Califia, Queen of California." --more-- ADD 1/1/1/1 CARTOON She is considered the foremost researcher of women cartoonists and women portrayed in comic books. Robbins has what she believes is the largest collection of comics by women in the United States. According to her book, "A Century of Women Cartoonists," women cartoonists were abundant and received public recognition through the first half of the century but have been ignored or shortchanged in recent decades. "Most of the books about comics have been written by men. And they have not mentioned these wonderful, wonderful, incredibly successful women. They just haven't. They've ignored them," she said in a 1994 interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Robbins' goal is to increase understanding of the importance of creating comics for girls and women, she said in a 1997 interview with the Daily Hampshire Gazette. "I desperately want to do something for girls in a field which is 98 percent aimed at adolescent boys," said Robbins. She includes letters from fans and comments from people in the industry in her work. Awards that Robbins has received include NOW Outstanding Feminist Activist Award, National Organization for Women, 1990, 1991; Children's Entertainment Finalist, New Media in Vision Award, 1993; Parents Choice Award, 1994; Lulu of the Year (from Friends of Lulu) 1997; and Teen Age 1998 (New York Public Library). --30--.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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. This project asks: What was the role and status of women in the comic book industry between the early 1970s and late 1990s? By utilizing moderately scheduled, in- depth interviews with women working in the comic book industry during this period, this study explores their experiences and treatment while working in an insular, male- dominated field.

Jackie Estrada's Kickstarter-Funded Comic Book People 2 Provides
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE contact: [email protected] attachments: cover; photo Jackie Estrada’s Kickstarter-Funded Comic Book People 2 Provides Unique Peek at the Comics Industry in the 1990s The 1990s were a transitional era in comics: Image emerged, lots of other new publishers got into the mix, the direct market flourished, and the self-publishing and indie comics movements really took off. The number of comic conventions also increased all around the U.S. And Jackie Estrada was there, capturing the scene in candid images, hundreds of which will appear in Comic Book People 2: Photographs from the 1990s. As a follow-up to last year’s well-received Comic Book People: Photographs from the 1970s and 1980s, longtime comics industry insider Jackie Estrada is running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the 1990s volume. As of March 2nd, the campaign was 60 percent funded, with just 10 days left to go. The high-quality hardcover coffeetable book will feature some 600 candid photos taken at comic conventions in the 1990s, along with commentary and anecdotes about each image. The book will be 176 pages, mostly with black-and-white images but including a 16-page color section. Estrada’s goal is to raise $23,000 to cover the costs of design, production, and printing of 2,000 copies, along with shipping, distribution, and backer rewards. “The 1990s were a great time for new faces that are now familiar fixtures, such as Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Jeff Smith, Terry Moore, Garth Ennis, Colleen Doran, David Lapham, and Paul Pope, says Estrada.

Scott Eder Gallery Presents: Spring Group Show: GLOBAL ALT COMICS
Scott Eder Gallery presents: Spring Group Show: GLOBAL ALT COMICS April 27th - June 2nd, 2018 Opening Reception Friday, April 27th, 5-9 PM Part of Mana Contemporary Open House, April 29th, 1-7 PM Co-curated by Alessandra Sternfeld, Literary Agent The Scott Eder Gallery is extremely proud to present an eclectic compendium of alternative art by non-male creators, showcasing artists from around the world and throughout the modern history of comics. Please join us for an opening reception for this special show! Several of the represented artists will be in attendance. On view will be a curated selection of art from each creator, including a handful of amazing pieces by Trina Robbins, the doyenne of comix's women artists and the editor of 1971's important underground anthology All Girl Thrills. An inductee into the Eisner Hall of Fame, Robbins has flourished in the underground art and music lifestyle of New York and San Francisco for decades, gathering numerous awards, editing, writing and contributing to dozens of publications, both in comics and nonfiction. A co-founder of Friends of Lulu (which from 1994-2011 helped encourage women comic artists through publishing, awards, and support), she was also the first female Wonder Woman artist. Mary Fleener, another grande dame of the comix scene, hails from Southern California, and much of her work – Slutburger; Life of the Party– is based on her experiences in the SoCal lifestyle and politics. Her stories or “autobiographix,” as she calls them, have been published in Weirdo, Twisted Sisters and Wimmen's Comix, plus she's done illustrations for Entertainment Weekly and other mainstream publications.
