Trina Robbins

    Trina Robbins je americká autorka komiksů a spisovatelka, jejíž průkopnická práce formovala undergroundové komiksové hnutí.

Její tvorba se vyznačuje snahou o zviditelnění ženských perspektiv, ať už prostřednictvím vlastních děl nebo vlivných antologií. Kromě své práce na komiksech je také autorkou nebeletristických knih, které se zaměřují na historii žen v kresleném umění.

      Fantagraphics celebrates The Flapper Queens, a gorgeous collection of full-color comic strips. In addition to featuring the more well-known cartoonists of the era, such as Ethel Hays, Nell Brinkley, and Virginia Huget, Eisner award-winning Trina Robbins introduces you to Eleanor Schorer, who started her career in the teens as a flowery art nouveau Nell Brinkley imitator but, by the '20s, was drawing bold and outrageous art deco illustrations; Edith Stevens, who chronicled the fashion trends, hairstyles, and social manners of the '20s and '30s in the pages of The Boston Globe; and Virginia Huget, possibly the flappiest of the Flapper Queens, whose girls, with their angular elbows and knees, seemed to always exist in a euphoric state of Charleston.
