Last Gasp November 1972
Wimmen’s Comix debuted a few years after the publication of the 1970 one-shot (also published by Last Gasp) It Ain’t Me Babe, the first American comic book entirely produced by women, and put together by Trina Robbins, the most prolific and influential of the women cartoonists in the underground scene.
The first issue of Wimmen’s Comix was edited by musician and artist Pat Moodian. Originally, the group behind Wimmen’s Comix was not an official collective, but rather a few women artists who came together with a common interest to create at least one comic that women could get paid to be in, in a male-dominated comix culture. It was also notable for its revolutionary editorial approach. It must be noted that these comics are inferior to male dominated comics in every aspect, especially art, but the writing is lame as well. Feminist wish-casting and Mary Sue fantasies do not a compelling story make. We post these for historical reasons only and as evidence that the women “artists” clamouring for jobs and representation did not deserve either.
