I agree with what you say: It's not that we lack female autors and/or good storylines. Comics by and/or for women exist. It's just not necessarly under the spotlight. It's the same with really astonishing works like Blankets or Strangers in Paradise. The work is awesome but it used to be considered underground. Maybe it's time to shed a bit of light on what creators do in less popular circles. I personnaly thing it's good that big houses like Dc and Merval have creator alternate logos like dark horse and vertigo to publish works that don't fll under the popular spandex mod. It shows that even the giants of the industry have a vision for alternate comic types.
I still think bone is one of the greatest comics i've ever read.
A comic artist heh? I'm glad you chose to participate in this discussion. Though this is mainly a rant based on poor information and the fact that i'm tired of being the "female token artist" to meetings I go to where it's always me and the same other girl who represent estrogen. The really should invite other girls.
