The Complete Wimmen's Comix - 2 Hardbacks

Klappentext This two-volume, slipcased set collects two decades of the groundbreaking underground/alternative anthology Wimmen's Comix. Zusammenfassung In the late '60s! underground comix changed the way comics readers saw the medium - but there was an important pronoun missing from the revolution. In 1972! ten women cartoonists got together in San Francisco to rectify the situation and produce the first and longest-lasting all-woman comics anthology! Wimmen's Comix. Within two years the Wimmen's Comix Collective had introduced cartoonists like Roberta Gregory and Melinda Gebbie to the comics-reading public! and would go on to publish some of the most talented women cartoonists in America - Carol Tyler! Mary Fleener! Dori Seda! Phoebe Gloeckner! and many others. In its twenty year run! the women of Wimmen's tackled subjects the guys wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole: abortion! menstruation! masturbation! castration! lesbians! witches! murderesses! and feminists. Most issues of Wimmen's Comix have been long out of print! so it's about time these pioneering cartoonists' work received their due.
