A lil' Q and A, part one
beatonna:
Hey there! It’s question and answer time! A few weeks ago I put out an open call for questions about the comics industry. A penance maybe, for having so many unanswered emails on these kinds of topics. I’m sorry! My email is terrible. Anyway: I said I would answer the most frequently asked questions, to the best of my ability. This isn’t a book on how to make comics, I can only...

Keli working at Zeus Comics
ladiesincomicbookstores:
Meet Keli. This photo of her was taken today, comic book Wednesday! She works part time at Zeus Comics in Dallas, TX and was a former manager at another comic shop in a neighboring town. She’s awesome. She knows her comics, doesn’t eat gluten-based foods, aspiring actress (yes she has her own IMDB page), and wickedly funny. Also plays “Keli” on The Variants.

Last night on Twitter I mentioned that I was sad that due to the demise of Friends of Lulu, the organization devoted to female comic creators, that it meant the end of the Kim Yale Newcomer award.
For those of you unfamiliar with Friends of Lulu, it described itself as as organization:

I am often amazed at the variety of female voices in the world of superhero comics commentary. When you look at the number of women who are involved in blogs and news and podcasts — Heidi MacDonald, Laura Hudson, Susana Polo, Jill Pantozzi, Corinna Lawson, Evie Nagy, Kelly…

Excellent history of The Amen Break, with samples. I didn’t realize that the Futurama Theme used the Amen Break until this very moment.

Trudy Cooper - Platinum Grit and Oglaf (NSFW)
Madeleine Rosca
Amei

I also learned that the Outback Steakhouse’s women’s bathroom...

Last year’s final match in the “Most Kick Ass DC Woman” tournament between Oracle and Wonder Woman was all day battle with Oracle staging a Cinderella win to beat Wonder Woman by just 7 votes!
This year Barbara Gordon’s protege and successor Cass Cain took on the Amazing Amazon and again we had an incredibly close day of voting. Would another Batgirl beat Wonder Woman?

ladiesmakingcomics:
This past Sunday, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet two women I have admired ever since I started delving into ladies’ comics history.
First was Trina Robbins, the revolutionary underground cartoonist and quintessential comics “herstorian”, whose books on the history of women in comics and cartooning, female superheroes, and comics aimed at girls and women are...
