EspañolWIMMEN'S COMIX
'''Wimmen's Comix''', later titled '''Wimmin's Comix''', was an influential all-female underground comics anthology published from 1970 to 1992.
The magazine was produced and jointly edited by a collective whose original members were Trina Robbins, Michelle Brand, Lora Fountain, Aline Kominsky, Diane Noomin, Lee Marrs, Pat Moodian, Sharon Rudahl, Shelby Sampson, and Janet Wolfe Stanley. Kominsky and Noomin were expelled from the collective soon after the first issue was produced, after a falling out with Robbins and other collective members. The two went on to produce their own comic series, ''Twisted Sisters''.[1] Later members and contributors included Terry Richards, Caryn Leschen, M.K. Brown, Dot Bucher, Mary Fleener, Melinda Gebbie, Phoebe Gloeckner, Krystyne Kryttre, Roberta Gregory, Lee Binswanger, Barb Brown, Carol Lay, Chris Powers, Carol Tyler, Dori Seda, and Penny Van Horn. Though it covered a wide range of genre and subject matter, ''Wimmen's Comix'' focused more than other anthologies of the time on feminist concerns, homosexuality, sex and politics in general, and autobiographical comics.
In 1992, for issue #17, the title was changed to ''Wimmin's Comix'' following a dispute over the gender politics of words containing "man" or "men" (see womyn). This and other political conflicts within the collective, along with financial difficulties and the increasing availability of other venues for independent female cartoonists, led to the end of the series after that issue. Some of its contributors, including: Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Penny Moran Van Horn, Carol Tyler, M.K. Brown, Diane Noomin, Phoebe Gloeckner, Carol Lay, Caryn Leschen, Leslie Sternbergh, Dori Seda, Mary Fleener and Krystyne Kryttre, subsequently appeared in ''Twisted Sisters: A Collection of Bad Girl Art'', Viking Penguin, edited by Diane Noomin and "Twisted Sisters: Drawing the Line", Kitchen Sink Press, edited by Diane Noomin.
