- You are bidding on a Brand New book - From Girls to Grrrlz: A History of Women's Comics from Teens to Zines (Paperback) by Trina Robbins (Author), Carla Sinclair (Introduction)
- This collection is in many ways an indispensable history of women
in comics since the 1940s. Author Trina Robbins used to hang out in
comics shops with her boyfriend, waiting impatiently, assuming that
comics was essentially a boy's medium. Looking closer, Robbins realized
there was a hidden history within the comics world, one that reflected
cultural shifts in ideas about women--if you look at how women are
drawn, you learn a lot about how women are imagined. Robbins edited the
first all-women comic book, It Ain't Me, Babe, and her insider knowledge is clearly encyclopedic. Before the grrrl comics like Ellen Forney's Tomato or Jessica Abel's ArtBabe, there was 1943's Girl's Life,
narrated by a cartoon teenager named Patsy Walker who wants nothing
more than to become a beautiful movie star. Then there are Betty and
Veronica with their impossible breasts, and Wimmin's comics of the
early '70s, in which the drawings pulse with angry life, druggy and
hopeful. From Girls to Grrrlz occasionally suffers from
tunnel vision--analysis is not Robbins's strength. She's so immersed in
the world she's documenting, she's never objective about it; she never
rises out of the cartoon world for a feminist discussion of what it
means for women to start drawing themselves, to start telling their own
stories via this boy-dominated medium. Nevertheless, it is a
well-organized, beautifully presented tribute to women as creators and
characters. The full-page reproduction of "The Further Fattening
Adventures of Pudge, Girl Blimp" is by itself worth the price of
admission. --Emily White
