Trina Robbins

Trina Robbins

Trina Robbins (born 1938) is an American comics artist and writer. She was an early and influential participant in the underground comix movement, and one of the few female artists in underground comix when she started. Her first comics were printed in the "East Village Other". She later joined the staff of a feminist underground newspaper "It Ain't Me, Babe", with whom she produced the first all-woman comic book titled "It Ain't Me Babe". She became increasingly involved in creating outlets for and promoting female comics artists, through projects such as the comics anthology "Wimmen's Comix". She was also the penciller on "Wonder Woman" for a time in the '80s.

Some of her work includes:
*An adaptation of Sax Rohmer's "Dope" for Eclipse Comics.
*"GoGirl" with artist Anne Timmons for Image Comics

Trina designed Vampirella's costume for Forrest Ackerman and Jim Warren.

Trina Robbins won a Special Achievement Award from the San Diego Comic Con in 1989 for her work on "Strip AIDS U.S.A.," a benefit book that she co-edited with Bill Sienkiewicz and Robert Triptow.

She lives in San Francisco with her long-term partner, comic artist Steve Leialoha.
