“In the sixties, in the middle sixties, suddenly comics became this hip thing, and college students and hippies were reading them. So I was one of them, and I started reading, basically it was the Marvel Renaissance at that point. It was all their new characters, Spiderman and the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.” MenCharacterReadingFourMiddleStudentsCollegeFantasticHipsSixtyHippieRenaissanceX MenCollege StudentsFantastic Four Author:Trina Robbins
“I saw the comics in the East Village Other, and they weren't superhero comics, they were all about hippies and all about things hippies were interested in. And there was one page in particular, a full page strip called "Gentle's Trip Out" signed "Panzika", and it was totally, totally psychedelic, and really, I don't know if it made any sense at all but it looked so great, and I thought, "This is what I want to do, this is my big influence," and it was.” IfsKnowsWantMadeBigsSawsInfluenceParticularPagesEastGentleVillageSuperheroHippiePsychedelicEast Village Author:Trina Robbins
