What a find!
Very intersting!
There just aren't enough female artists. Sure, there are more today than there were in the past, but it's still fewer than there are male artists. Women bring a different sensiblity to comics, and a good example of that is Brenda Starr, a comic strip started in 1940 about a woman reporter. Drawn by Dale Messick, Brenda Starr had adventures and relationships very different from the ones in comic strips by men. Compare this strip to a Terrry and the Pirates strip and you'll notice the difference. Anyway, this is a terrific example of Dale Messick's work. Great pick-up, congrats!
