Capes-n-Babes

I guess there should be some type of disclaimer for this strip… something along the lines of:

Any implied or assumed association of any real comic book creators in this strip is purely speculation and/or a total coincidence. All characters depicted in this strip are entirely created from Chris Flick’s demented brain and should not be assumed to be based on any living, breathing or even dead comic book creator.

Okay, now that that is out of the way… what in the world were they thinking when they said this???

Sometimes, I think super stars – in ANY field – sometimes forget where they came from. Sometimes, they become single bodied corporations that spend all of their time maintaining their stardom life that they forget to look down or walk among the peasants every once in a while. If they did, they would see Artist Alleys at every convention filled with some absolute fantastic women creators. In fact, I am part of a group that has two such women in our group – Dawn Griffin and Robin Dempsey. And my Twitter feed is filled with even more great women creators like Jules Rivera, Spike, Meridith Gran, Danielle Gransaull, Becky Seashols and, of course, Danielle Corsetto. And that’s just the female creators off of the top of my head… In fact, I might hear from even more female creators that I might have forgotten to mention in this post. For those that I forgot, I apologize.

The truth is, I could literally fill this entire blog post up with nothing but names of fantastic female creators I have met and gotten to know since starting Capes & Babes. Heck, my daughter is one as well, so don’t sit there and tell me the comic book industry doesn’t have any place for female readers OR creators.

They are all over the place.

You just have to take off your “old school male glasses” and take a look for yourself.
