Review of Women Who Can Fly: Trina Robbins and Superheroines

Elizabeth Chur?s interview with comic book creator Trina Robbins is comparatively dry as programing but charged with the appropriately super energy and insight of its subject. Trina Robbins who can look at the history of the world and come to the curious, but completely understandable conclusion that ?All through history men have been intimidated by women who fly,? is well worth meeting and the piece presents her in a clear, uncluttered way. Beyond comics and post-post feminism Girl Power, Robbins is someone worth knowing about as a creative beacon. Chur describes her with what could be the best life instruction I?ve ever heard: ?When there?s a book she wants to read that no one has written yet, she has to write it herself.? Programable anywhere, but because of its almost austere production values, it would benefit from carefully selected wraparound material.
