A relatively new book - My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris (who is female, despite the misleading name).
I'm halfway thru it now, and loving it.

Amy Reeder's artwork features beautifully drawn figures, vibrant colors... She does her own coloring? That's awesome. |

Thought this was a really cool video of Jill Thompson doing a live watercolor demo painting a Wonder Woman portrait in a copy of her recent Eisner Award winning graphic novel Wonder Woman: The True Amazon.  |

Today is International Women's Day and the Google Doodle (found on the google search page) is a series of cartoons of women's stories incluing some by established female cartoonists like Tillie Walden-I did a mini-review of her OGN Spinning in the moderns comic section last year). Well worth checking out.

I'm reading a recent book about Jackie Ormes, a woman who did comic strips, journalism and other prose in the now-vanished world of African-American newspapers from the 1930s to the 50s. A fascinating look at a talented woman and a corner of the publishing world that has tended to be overlooked.

Most of what I know has been from the early '80s Eclipse 'Women And The Comics' book and the more recent 'Pretty In Ink', but I also have some books just on Rose O'Neill, Nell Brinkley, Tarpe Mills and Lily Renee (lots of Trina credits on all of them except one Rose O'Neill book). Here's a favorite O'Neill page dated 1926...  Will Eisner put together a really wonderful Kewpies comic book in 1949 but there was only one issue.  I also admire the art of Ethel Hayes and Gladys Parker tremendously! |

Yeah, and when Barbara Hall created the team in Speed Comics #23, a Chinese woman named Mei Ling joined, though her skin tone would vary in later issues.   |
