I remember reading a couple editions of The Best American Comics, issues 2011 and 2012, where guest editors Alison Bechdel and Françoise Mouly respectively commented over the need of including more women creators. Those series take “America” as the portion of the continent above Mexico; but nevertheless, here in the rest of America (you know, that what’s called Latin America) such need remains. I’m Venezuelan and now I’m curious.
A quick internet search shows that, yeah, women make comics too. But where are they? What’s their work about? I might be a bit over-sensitive on the topic of comics lately (maybe because I’m preparing my first own comic) so this goes without any pretension of novelty, just some superficial notes on which I may return later.
