Talk:List of female comics creators

message: I think it might make sense to merge the "list" into this article.  Hopefully this article can grow and eventually give some narrative about the history and other issues of this subject.  Sometimes it makes sense to keep the "article" and "list" on separate pages, especially when the list is very long.  Right now however, there is a lot of overlap between the two, and the "article" is not yet strong enough to be split off. ike9898 00:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly, but "women in comics" is currently limited in scope to the U.S. and the list contains women in Japan.  One of those viewpoints will have to change to make it consistent.  ColourBurst 07:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the article does include Japanese-women comics creators, how does it not espouse a worldview? -- Tenebrae 19:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Also, the list article is just that, a list with no identifying information or source citation. I'll ID and source as many as I can; first step is to cull the duplicates, which, as there seems to be little activity on these articles over months, I'll do now. It can always be reverted in a moment if need be. --Tenebrae 14:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The category Women in comics‎ was recently split into :Category:Women comics artists and :Category:Women comics writers and deleted. Is there a reason for this list that isn't met by those 2 better named categories? -- Jeandré, 2007-09-19t19:19z
::Just the main reason that most list pages still exist: To cover those list members who don't have wikipedia articles yet...  Shadzane (talk) 00:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that G. B. Jones was recently added to this page as a female comics artist.  But her own Wikipedia page doesn't say anything at all about her being a comics artist.  It talks about her art, but nowhere does it says she's ever done a comic story or strip.  That doesn't mean she hasn't, but it seems like an odd omission...  So, does G. B. Jones really belong on this list? Shadzane 07:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: GB Jones contributed to the comics anthology Juicy Mother, volume one (Celebration) and volume two (How They Met), edited by Jennifer Camper, if that makes a difference. The two publications are listed in the bibliography on her page. Intheshadows 05:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there it is.  Thanks, and never mind me.  (But it wouldn't hurt her own Wikipedia page to come out and says some of her art work has been comics...) Shadzane 01:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  G. B. Jones 

message: The introduction to this page implies (but doesn't specifically say) this list is for women working in the American comic book industry.  So I have removed a few Japanese creators (and I see there is one I missed, pus a French creator was just added).  Was I wrong? Shadzane (talk) 00:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the introduction to specifically mention the North American market Shadzane (talk) 01:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd prefer an article about how and why women artists have worked in comics throughout the years myself, covering  broader spectrum of similarities and differences between American, European and Asian (at least the Japanese and Korean markets seem notable), myself. Since the title doesn't mention anything about limiting the scope to North America, I see no reason for exclusion.<BR>If someone would be willing to lay out the bare bones for an article, it should probably mention, apart from major names in the American mainstream Ann Nocenti, Cathy Guisewite etc. etc. American feminist-conscious underground Trina Robbins, Wimmen's Comix, Tits and Clits etc. The French version Ah! Nana and European artists including Claire Bretecher and Marjane Satrapi, and the Japanese Year 24 Group and the female overtaking of shoujo manga, etc. If someone'd create some barebones, I'd try improwing the article. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 14:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Any comments about the article rewrite I started? I tried to give a sense of some major artists and their place in history. Any ideas for improvement. It could probably need rephrasing, I used several recurring phrases etc. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 01:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Article rewrite

message: I had trouble finding good info on Ah! Nana, particularly anything at all in English, and had to make do with my rusty school French. There was an alright article in "Les cahiers du musée de la bande dessinée - no. 12", and Virginie Talet wrote an alright article here:  also see BDoubliées.com:  Claveloux, Cestac and Montellier don't have their own pages, but they could be found at Lambiek and/or French Wikipedia. (Claveloux got some recognition for her style in the 70's, but she has mostly illustrated children's books.) 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 01:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Ah ! Nana

message: I wonder on if I should expand the article part with some further names. I'm unsure on which to include, though. I don't want this to become a laundry list. It would be more interesting to show how the market and its creators has evolved throughout the time, but it might take some more effort to write. I guess some more US mainstream and indie names could be added, although I'm a bit unsure on these scenes, and who to include. Maybe there should be some mention of Julie Doucet, she has had noable international impact in alternative circles, the whole alternative comics scene seems rather global. I might try to add some info about South Korea as well. It's hard to find good info, but there seems to have been a pioneering wave in the 80's. I'd like to add something about South America as well, Maitena Burundarena seems to have been rather successful. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 04:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think adding more people would unfortunately start to edge towards a laundry list - what it really needs is something to indicate why these women are important. eg:<BR>"Another all-female comix book series was Tits and Clits Comix, initiated by Lyn Chevely and Joyce Farmer."<BR>is verifiable, but the reader learns nothing about why this is a notable comic, or these women are notable creators. I think limiting it to firsts, award winners, controversies, etc. would be more interesting to read, and easier to understand why some names are just in the list, and others are important enough to discuss.<BR>I've generally found book sources to be better at explaining things like this (online sources seem mostly concerned with making lists): eg. , which mentions early attempts by marvel's women staff that failed, but were popular with nurses. Google books brings up quite a lot about women in comics (which i'm currently searching to do someting about the criticism section in the portrayal article).YobMod 16:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I know that. It easily turns into a laundry list, especially when it's about such relatively obscure topics that lacks Wikipedia articles for further information. But basically, T&C was an early all-female underground with seven issues published between 1972 and 1987 (which is relatively long-running and frequent by underground measures), which, just as "Wimmen's Comix" provided an outlet for female cartoonists to tell their own stories without censorship. Needs improvement and sourcing, though. Trina Robbins' books would be a good starting point. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

text: And also, if someone has "Manhwa, Another Discovery in Asian Comics" published by "Korea Culture and Content Agency", it might be interesting. From what I heard, it seems to read a lot like an advertisement for selling manhwa rights abroad, and probably downplays all its manga influences, but it's very hard to find any good info at all on the subject, so it might still be interesting. I don't know of any other book in English that goes through manhwa's history thoroughly. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You could find some references about women in comics (both as creators and subject) here: http://www.lib.msu.edu/comics/rri/wrri/guidewh.htm The list might need some sifting, though. I just found out that there was an all-woman quarterly in the 90's (by practice mostly lesbian) called Oh... by B Publications. Unfortunately, it seems most of these publications never reach outside their rather ghettoized markets. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 09:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel that I am roughly "complete" with my work here, now. I feel most of the major names and major movements are mentioned. Please feel free to improve the article or discuss with me if I have missed mentioning anything major. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:01, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

message: "Comic panel" doesn't sound too good to me. It sounds like a panel from a comic, not a single panel-cartoon. Not that "serialized cartoon" is unambiguous, either. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 10:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Comic panel

message: Would Akira Amano and Matsuri Hino be different enough, or making a big enough impact to be notable? Seems like those examples have been inserted more or less randomly in the main article. Otherwise, I'm no expert on manga. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I'm not very familiar with modern manga, but since there are so many female mangaka (in itself a good thing), the names mentioned in the article should have made a certain impact in the business except for just being popular,. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: ND Stevenson is an influential writer and artist; his work on the Lumberjanes series is what is referenced in the article and what first made me aware of him.  Since he formally came out last year as non-binary but preferring male descriptors in general, it seems appropriate to acknowledge that on this page somehow (even if it is as simple as including the parenthetical "uses he/him" after the link to his page).  Does anyone have ideas on a good solution here? Dextrous Fred (talk) 02:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
