Document Summary
Action movie poster style for cover page (intertextuality) Women in comics are portrayed based on looks rather than function. Spent early years living on a hippy commune (published her first book, a memoir, on this subject) Worked in pr and published humour books on the side. Become a bestselling author with heartsick and two sequels, beginning in 2004. Polish comics illustrator with a background in marketing and video games (including art for overwatch) Mockingbird has been most commonly read in comics critical circles as an oppositional figure to the discourse of women in comics. This is not ideal (reflects broader problems), but is productive. The text invites this through processes of self-awareness, similar to what we see in. Prized demographic(young boys have a lot of money to throw away) In the 1930"s there were no preferable gender in comics (demographic was equal) Males-oriented eroticism (luce irigaray) female sexual desire=tactile man=visual. Easier in comics to erotise for men vs women.
