#Alternative simple comic series
A series of individual non-fiction stories that told the tales of native Chicagoans like herself, these hand-crafted, self-published comics were the roots of what would become standard fare at SPX (Small Press Expo) and APE (Alternative Press Expo) today. The award-winning artist got her start in comics in 1992 by photocopying and hand-sewing individual issues of her zine Artbabe. The underground comix movement may have ended, but 1990s artist Jessica Abel would not only find her voice in one of the remaining vestiges of that time-the zine-but she would become a true pioneer of the genre that we now embrace as alternative comics and someone dedicated to bringing comics into school curriculum. Check back here every week for biographical snippets on female creators who have pushed the boundaries of the format and/or seen their work challenged or banned.
