Women in Comics on Comixplex 5/12

Wide-ranging discussion of (mostly) Golden Age women. Discussion of Lily Renee with Trina and David includes clip from new Lily Renee documentary. Colleen enlightened us all about the art of Rose O’Neill, who had a lot more going on than the Kewpies she was famous for. Trina talks about Tarpe Mills and Miss Fury. I talk about the first comprehensive art historical exhibit of comic art and comic books in 1942, curated by the illustrator Jessie Gillispie Willing, and Marinaimi talks about the influence of Mary Fleener’s work on her own art. Ends with a short video of Lily Renee blowing out birthday candles.
