I used to go to so many more comics panels in college. I even presented an essay at a Florida College one year, on gender in comics. But I just live so far away from stuff like that now. Hearing stuff like this is really excellent! I need to watch more digital stuff, which I'm sure is happening now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:11pm

Excellent, chresti. I'm a big fan of underground comics and I got very wistful when she went down the list of the artists like Dori Seda....

Hi Krys and Wigglers. thanks for this. We have a lot of comic book shops in LA, but it's hard to find the cool stuff amidst all the superheroes. I appreciate the guidance.

speaking of Women in Comics - Lynda Barry was one of my first fave underground cartoonists, discovered via the LA Weekly (along with a pre-Simpsons Matt Groening) as a young teen spending my free periods at the school library.

Oh right, first they were in the LA Reader (along with David Lynch - yes, THAT David Lynch - "Angriest Dog In The World") before they moved to the Weekly. I was like wow, this ain't no Charlie Brown. And I liked Charlie Brown.

Mr Fab:

i went to high school in Sherman Oaks early '80s, but if I saw Marsha Hunt around, i wouldn't have known it as I hadn't heard of her. It WAS big news however when Pat Benatar was spotted shopping at the supermarket near our school. Tho I was more interested in Harlan Ellison's "Dangerous Visions" bookstore. Ever check it out, chresti?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
Austin Rich:

I only ever heard about that store, Mr. Fab. Was it cool, or... hard to shop?

Marsha was blacklisted in the early 50s and really didn't make movies again until almost 1960.

I highly recommend the documentary, Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity that chronicles her full life.

Yes, Austin, a cool little indie bookstore, specializing in sci-fi. The one time I met harlan ellison he was actually quite friendly to me. I lucked out, I guess.
