Why Aren’t There More Women in Comics?
Adam Knave answers a question a lot of comics readers have been asking lately, “Why aren’t there more women in comics?” :
“[T]he industry has a history of actively trying to throw out half the population’s worth of potential. And then asking why they aren’t there, punching them in the face, and swearing they would be welcome, if they’d only show up. Well done, guys.”
