Wet Satin

Trina Robbins’s Wet Satin (Kitchen Sink Press, 1976–present) is a single-issue underground comic that showcases the work of one of the pioneering women of the medium. Centered on a glamorous, streetwise heroine, the book reflects the raw, countercultural energy of 1970s comix while carving out space for female creators and perspectives. Robbins’s bold, expressive art and storytelling made this a standout in the male-dominated underground scene, cementing its place as a key artifact of the era’s feminist comics movement.
