Description
Trina Robbins' works include "From Girls to Grrrrlz" a History of Women in Comics."
Her autographed pillowcase is a woman with pigtails, drawn in a traditional comic style. Splashes of red in the heart charm, lipstick, and pigtail bows complement the red "TwoTag" which she seems to approve, given the eyewink she exhibits. Trina Robbins has signed this pillowcase art she created in 2001. The image size is about 14 x 14 inches.
About the Illustrator: The late 60's saw the emergence of underground comics, a new wave of humorous comic books that dealt with social and political subjects. These new comics became known as "comix" to set them apart from mainstream comics. Trina Robbins can truly been seen as the very first female underground comic artist. When she moved from New York to San Francisco in 1970, she found that comix and the comix scene were two different things. Not able to join the "closed boy's club", as she called the underground comix scene, she produced (with several other like-minded women cartoonists) It Ain't Me, Babe in 1970, the first underground comic written and drawn solely by women. She was also one of the founders of the first on-going all-woman comix title "Wimmen's Comix."
