Comic Book Women
The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men.
Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men
telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in
which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers'
studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital
roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books
were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like
June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather
than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as
the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed.
Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the
golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous
genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built
their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality,
the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science
fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and
industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide
range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and
others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done
by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and
characters into the canon of comics history.

Hilda: Community Spirit in Comics
Pearson focuses on community spirit in comics. He'd always loved making comics, telling stories and inventing new characters and places with which to tell those stories. His newest book is due to come out in November, and it's taking a slightly new approach for him, designed as an easier entry point for younger kids to venture into the world of comics and graphic novels. He had to find a way to stay true to the ideals of Hilda when he embarked on this project, and that really made him think--what does Hilda stand for? Hilda is part of the Sparrow Scouts, a group of kids who were really fleshed out in the Netflix TV show. They have their own oath, closely inspired by the original real-life Scout Promise. Hilda embodies a willingness to engage with communities outside of her realms of knowledge, and she actively ventures out with courage to explore nature and understand the creatures that she lives alongside, even if they're hundreds of feet tall or made of stone. They may not look like her or think like her, but they've each got stories to tell and arc worth a conversation.
