Note 4/12--I just realized that I never re-journaled this book before I sent it on! Sorry about that! I loved the book and looked several of the cartoonists and zines up on the web. Thanks so much for sharing this Gorydetails!
Mostly U.S.ian cartoonists, but lots of variety...
...could use someone a bit like "Aunt Violet" up here, wonder if she'd like to visit?

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This book was awesome! I was disappointed but not surprised that some of these women's more controversial works were rejected from being published while their male counterparts works that were just as controversial were not. Big surprise...(heavy sarcasm) I will be sending this on to the next bookcrosser on the list.
Thanks so much for sharing your book!
Happy Bookcrossing!
Reserved for the next reader.

Happy Reading!
More when I can do more than just flip through it. Looks interesting, though, from the pages I've skimmed. :)
It was interesting. I don't know that much about the early days of comics, so that was all new and different to me. I liked there were lots of examples, because I enjoy reading comics.:) Overall I found it interesting and I learned some stuff. I think the later was heavily into the indy comics and glossed over those that were in the newspapers--I wonder how much of that was the editor's bias, and how much was equivalent was just not known about earlier eras.
The discussion of the state of the comic book comics was unsurprising, and somewhat depressing. I really enjoy comics, and comic books, but have no interest in the current crop of "super" (anti) heroes and nothing but violence and occasional cleavage. I will take heart that when comics had more variety women had more place in the industry, and hope that either side of that equation changes so the other one will, too!
Enjoy!
