A change for the better in the male-dominated comic-strip industry

Journalist Kira Cochrane is glad to observe that "some of the most groundbreaking and exciting graphic novels of the past few years have been written - and devoured - by women, including Alison Bechdel's 'Fun Home' and Marjane Satrapi's 'Persepolis' ... . The workforce and output of the comics industry has long been male-dominated, with conventional wisdom holding that girls don't read comics. In this environment, sexism has flourished. Female characters have often been drawn in pin-up poses - even while in combat - with breasts like zeppelins and be-thonged bottoms. ... The trend was summed up last year by a figurine ... showing Spider-man's wife, Mary Jane, bent over a bucket, ... as she handwashed her husband's jumpsuit. And when not engrossed in their lover's laundry, women comic book characters have regularly been subject to horrific violence. ... those days of comics being just for the boys may finally, thankfully, be over."
