Why Have This Wiki?
|
Comics have long been a male-dominated field, but they have never been exclusively male. Female creators have been around since the beginning, as writers, artists, editors, even owners of comic book publishers. Women are still growing in prominence in today's market, though they're still in the minority. We wanted an area independent of any other wiki or database to really focus on women's contributions to comics. In addition, we recognize that not all female creators (as well as male) count as "notable" by the Other Wiki's standards, and this is a place where they can be included regardless.
