About Trina Robbins: Trina Robbins is a multiple award-winning pioneer in the world of comic books. Feminist, artist, historian, author, co-author, and editor of many graphic novels, and books. In 1969, inspired by an issue of Zap Comix and the Bay Area’s
underground comix scene, she moved to San Francisco from New York, finding
work at the feminist underground newspaper It Ain’t Me, Babe. Trina has had a
pathbreaking career. In 1970, she produced the first all-woman comics anthology,
It Ain’t Me, Babe. She has promoted women comics artists in projects such as the
anthology Wimmen’s Comix, the longest-running all-women comics anthology in
history. Controversially, Wimmen’s Comix includes graphic erotic stories for
women from different desire positions. Wimmen’s Comix #1 featured Robbins’
“Sandy Comes Out,” the first comic strip featuring an “out” lesbian. In 1986,
Robbins was the first woman (after 40 years) to draw Wonder Woman for DC
Comics. She calls herself a “herstorian” and has published more than ten books
about great women comic artists ignored by historians, including artists of the
Jazz Age. Trina never stops. In 2023, she produced the pro-choice anthology
Won’t Back Down!, including artists of every sex and gender identity, with all the
proceeds going to benefit Planned Parenthood. – Elaine O’Brien, Ph.D. January 12, 2024
