Diana Moon
dianamoon Diana Moon
I’m curious, what kind of #steampunk comics would ppl like to see? Print or otherwise. Been working on 1 w/ an artist friend #steampunkchat

@
@CountessaLenora Kind of Amelia Peabody? (Elizabeth Peters books) #steampunkchat

What would make a great comic (sp or otherwise) for women, strong &or intelligent females not used for solely romance devices #steampunkchat

We’re coming into the last 4 minutes of the official chat; let’s start wrapping this up. #steampunkchat

@CountessaLenora I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t read it in over a decade :( Not since it was in Deadline in the 80s #steampunkchat #ImSoOld

@Jenny_Schwartz I’d want to see the women be more self-sufficient. #steampunkchat

Whoever mentioned lack of comics in bookstores, Borders used to stock a fantastic range. Gone but not forgotten, sob. #steampunkchat
Jenny Schwartz
Jenny_Schwartz Jenny Schwartz
@amelia_wilson @CountessaLenora Not that Indiana Jones was a comic, or was it? #steampunkchat
Matthew Delman
mattdelman Matthew Delman

@
@amelia_wilson @countessalenora I’d argue that’s a danger with anything directed at a particular audience. #steampunkchat
Diana Moon
dianamoon Diana Moon

@
@amelia_wilson Some have already. Marvel tried and failed at for women comics. DC’s supposed to have something similar soon #steampunkchat
Jenny Schwartz
Jenny_Schwartz Jenny Schwartz

@
@amelia_wilson @CountessaLenora I’m thinking Indiana Jones appealed to both…something like that? #steampunkchat

@
@CountessaLenora would comics directed at women quickly become gimmicky/cliched?Hard to direct things to perceived m/f tastes.#steampunkchat

@
@artificer13 Tank Girl kicks butt that’s why. #steampunkchat
Diana Moon

@
@artificer13 Possibly! I did get into that comic series only after seeing the movie, heh. Def loved the tech & attitude in it #steampunkchat
Lee Ann Farruga
CountessaLenora Lee Ann Farruga

@
@dianamoon They’ll learn. The number of girls and women attending cons is increasing by huge leaps and bounds! #steampunkchat

@
@amelia_wilson I think part of is simply because the bigger companies have other stories to write, so it’s smaller pubs first #steampunkchat

@
@amelia_wilson Some people will read an 800 page Harry potter book but not a 20 page comic. Maybe it’s the stories? Artwork? #steampunkchat

@
@amelia_wilson I think part of it is comic reading in general, the format doesn’t appeal to every one. #steampunkchat

When you talk about comics I think “pulp” comes up more than “punk” but a lot of pulp has a steampunk flavor. #steampunkchat
