About this Collection
This 1991 trade paperback from Penguin compiles the work of several female underground cartoonists, showcasing a raw, rebellious, and often humorous take on the 'bad girl' archetype in comics. Featuring stories and illustrations by creators like Diane Noomin, Carol Lay, and Mary Fleener, the collection offers a feminist counterpoint to the male-dominated 'bad girl' art trend of the era, blending punk aesthetics with personal and provocative narratives.
