I'd like to give props to writer, cartoonist and "herstorian" Trina Robbins. Trina (who wrote the Hilda Terry obituary) has made a career of unearthing and exposing the forgotten women of comics history. When respected male cartoonists Chris Ware or Seth tell the world about a forgotten male cartoonist, many glossy articles in fancy artsy comics mags featuring lush color pictorials of the work of said historical male cartoonist will follow. When Trina Robbins tells the world about Tarpe Mills, Nell Brinkley, Rose O'Neill, or Hilda Terry ... well ... let's just say there's a distinct attitude on the part of much of the comics elite (I'll confess guilty to having had attitude about Trina's writing in the past). One doesn't easily find glimpses of comics by not so well known cartoonists from days gone by, especially women, without very very religiously digging through bins of old comics ... or without seeing easily accessible fancy pictorials in contemporary books and magazines. Luckily, there's Trina, because it is a rare breed indeed who religiously digs through bins of old comics ... looking specifically for work by women to share with the public.
