“I started drawing comics, and at first I was very influenced by the whole pop art movement, you know, Batman was on TV and all that pop art stuff? But then my next influence was in 1966, or maybe it was '65, I don't know. Somebody showed me a copy of the "East Village Other", which was an underground newspaper. And... it had comics in it! And they weren't superhero comics.” KnowsFirstsArtWholeNextStuffInfluenceMovementTvsPopsEastDrawingNewspapersCopiesVillageSuperheroPop ArtEast Village Author:Trina Robbins
“I am proud of having drawn the first comic about a lesbian - and it didn't even occur to me that I was drawing a first. I just wanted to tell the story of my roommate.” FirstsStoriesWantedProudDrawingComicRoommate Author:Trina Robbins
