Trina Robbins, Legendary Cartoonist and Wonder Woman Artist, Passes Away
at 85
Robbins wrote a number of non-fiction books about the history of women in
comics.
Trina Robbins, the cartoonist and artist known for her decades-long career
in the underground comix movement, has passed away at the age of 85. The
news was broken on Wednesday night, with comic writer Gail Simone paying
tribute to Robbins in a Facebook post. Beginning in the 1970s, Robbins
became one of the most instrumental female voices in underground comix,
contributing to or editing a number of anthologies or papers. She was also
a prolific advocate for chronicling the history of women in comics and
cartooning, publishing over half a dozen books on the subject.
...
In addition to her unground work, Robbins designed the original costume
for Warren Publishing's heroine Vampirella, and was the first-ever woman
artist to draw DC's Wonder Woman.
