San Francisco, California – Join us for our December Third Thursday with author Trina Robbins, who will be discussing and signing her new book Pretty in Ink, published by Fantagraphics Books, Inc. This event is free and open to the public.
Trina Robbins will begin the event with a presentation about her new book, Pretty in Ink. A revised, updated and rewritten history of North-American women cartoonists, it uncovers startling new information that comic readers may not know about the outwardly male dominated field of comics.
