Graphic Evidence of Inequality

In the last installment of Ladydrawers we looked at some statistics culled from some recently published comics – all from last spring! – that painted a pretty dire overall picture of one form of media. This time, though, we get a little more specific: Anne Elizabeth Moore and MariNaomi break down the numbers by publishers. Who is publishing female creators and who is not? We also break this into estimated page counts and average out the MSRP attributable to women creators – just so we can start to imagine how much labor, and what income, might be coming their way. But tune in two weeks when we break it down even further: We’ll compare the below to a few raw numbers. As always, Ladydrawers, a semimonthly comics collaboration, might surprise you.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $50,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
