Trina Robbins (New York, 1938) died at the age of 85, an author whose name may go unnoticed by Spanish comic fans. In addition to being the first illustrator of 'Wonder Woman', the author combined this more artistic work with dissemination and academic research.
She arrived in the midst of the upheaval of the appearance in the American comics scene of San Francisco, at the end of the 60s, aware of being in a deeply sexist medium and movement that required new perspectives and openness. She founded the alternative publication It Aint Me, Babe, which in 1970 would give rise to the first anthology of comics made by women under the same name, reclaiming a space in which they had traditionally been separated or made invisible. Her work in this sense continues until last year, when she coordinated the comic anthology Won't Back Down! in favor of the movement in defense of the right to terminate pregnancy Pro Choice. She also founded Friends of Lulú, an association dedicated to the promotion of comics by women that has had great importance in the world.
