Last year I did two massive posts about the 20 best female comics creators of 2010. I thought about revisiting that list this year, but I felt a lot of those ladies still belong on that list and I wanted to make sure to feature new creators. So instead I decided to add to it, with 13 new ladies who did great work in 2011 that I’d like to recognize. So, without further ado, here are 13 fantastic female creators in comics that you should be watching, reading, and supporting.
Please, before filling up the comments with women you think are missing, make sure to check out 2010’s list which includes: Kate Beaton, Rebekah Isaacs, Becky Cloonan, Amy Reeder, Jill Thompson, Gail Simone, Faith Erin Hicks, Kathryn Immonen, Emily Carrol, Amanda Connner, Hope Larson, Linda Medley, Fiona Staples, Colleen Coover, Raina Telgmeier, Lucy Knisley, Sarah Glidden, Katie Cook, Jen Van Meter, Nicola Scott, and Gabrielle Bell.
