“Marry, Do or Kill?” What Will it Take to Shatter Female Stereotypes in Comics?
Sat. October 10| 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM | 1A05
Female characters in comics have historically been limited to sexy good girls or sexy bad girls, with little between. Readers are ready for change! A Panel of Writers, Artists and Editors weigh in on “strong female characters,” “fridged women,” the Bechdel test and troubleshooting storytelling stereotypes. With Sandy King (Writer/Film Producer, Storm King Productions), M. Alice LeGrow (Writer/Artist, Bizenghast), Jennie Wood (Writer, FLUTTER), NEN (Artist, Shinobi Clans) and Enrica Jang (Writer/Editor, House of Montresor). Moderated by Jon Erik Christianson.
