Action Girl Comics

    (Slave Labor, 1994-1998)
™ and ©1995 Sarah Dyer. Contents © their respective artists and writers.

Sarah Dyer created Action Girl Comics as a sort of springboard for new women cartoonists to be discovered. Each issue features the work of numerous cartoonists, each of which brings their own style and sensibility to bear. Artistic styles can range from the animé-like characters of Elizabeth Watasin, to the more darkly “alternative” work of Carolyn Ridsdale. For her part, Sarah Dyer both coordinates Action Girl, as well as giving new installments of the adventures of the cheerful title character. Readers who are interested in the work of any of these artists can find further biographical and ordering information in the back of each issue.

Overall, Action Girl Comics is a pleasantly hip sampler of the world of women cartoonists. It’s a perfect showcase not only for their work, but for the very idea of artistic independence and self-publishing.
