The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men. Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers' studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed. Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters into the canon of comics history.Ver livro

Circulus Veneficae is not just a story—it is a manifesto whispered in the dark. At its heart lies Lilith, the outcast who refuses submission, reborn in the voice of a young woman who has grown tired of smiling while bleeding. From whispered confessions in a warehouse to rituals painted in lipstick and fire, the circle grows: Mira, Selina, Noor, Alma—each scarred, each burning with hunger, each carrying a secret that demands release. Their revenge begins with symbols—mirrors, words, small acts of rebellion—but soon escalates into a dangerous game of seduction and exposure. Men who believed themselves untouchable find themselves reflected in a mirror they can no longer bear to face. But in every act of resistance lies a question: how far can you go before you lose yourself? Mixing sensual prose with raw emotion, Circulus Veneficae blurs the line between vengeance and salvation, between poison and prayer. It is a story of women who catch fire and refuse to be extinguished. Dark, intoxicating, and painfully human, it is an ode to survival, sisterhood, and the dangerous beauty of female rage.Ver livro
By the time my papers had been located and the form filled and stamped by the jury and my luggage had been found and loaded on a three-wheeled cart, Joe's sun was setting. A guard who talked enough to reveal that his name was Smith guided me through the stifling streets. Already the dark nebula was visible and thunderclouds on the horizon added to the possibility that the sky was having convulsions. Smith helped me pull the cart up a ramp to the planked walk of the outer wall. Guards stood at intervals and peeped through infrared goggles or checked strange instruments. Some laughed after we passed.Ver livro
