The Journal of Comics and Culture Volume 8

The portrayal of women in comic books, as well as the roles of women in the comic book industry itself, has been controversial since the medium’s beginning. This issue examines stylistic innovations by women comic artists, thematic choices, and the creation of entirely new genres by women authors. This 8th volume of the journal is dedicated to comics creator Ramona Fradon, who passed away at 97, two months after retiring.
