WOMEN IN THE COMICS

From the early creations of housewives, working girls, flappers, debutants and coquettes to the liberated super-heroines and sirens of the sexually mature seventies, Women In The Comics depicts with astonishing accuracy the trends that were to transform the predominantly male territory of the comics into a new scene whee old taboos and stereotypes were challenged and often laid to test. In this book the author, Maurice Horn describes the book's focus, the leading women characters, as well as other obscure women, and this study of female characters in the comics brings them to light!  It features U.S. newspaper comic strips, and a number of European characters and U.S. comic books.
