In other words, according to the observation of comic historian Tim Hanley,
There is a serious phenomenon of "yang Sheng Yin" in the comics industry.
Although the situation in recent years is better than before, comics is still a male-dominated industry.
In May 2017, the number of female comic artists in DC and Marvel was only about 15%.
Female creators accounted for only 6.2% of Dynamite comics, 20.4% of Titan comics, 14.3% of Valiant comics, and the largest number of female creators in Boom comics, but only 39%.
In the direct sales market, the number of female comic artists is less than that of men...
The Angoulême International Comic Festival is a major event in the comics industry.
However, at the 2016 Angouleme International Comic Festival, there was no female cartoonist among the 30 nominations for the Grand Prix Awards.In this regard, Frank Bondoux, director of the comic festival, said: "Unfortunately, there have been not many women in the comic industry. If you go to the Louvre, you will find that there are very few female artists."
Many employers in the comic industry have similar claims:"It's not that we don't recruit female comic artists, but we have a poorly drawn female cartoonist."
Is it really?
American cartoonist Kelly Sue DeConnick expressed dissatisfaction,
She launched a tag called #VisibleWomen on Twitter.
At the beginning, she just hoped that through this label, more female painters' works would be seen, and that the comic industry employers could use this opportunity to discover more powerful female artists.
As soon as the label was launched, it received responses from female painters from all over the world.
“I am raxenne, a graphic designer and illustrator from the Philippines, I like to draw flowers and various graphicsâ€
"hi, I am jubilee, I like to draw a pixel painting of the landscape."
“I am Nicole, I like to paint a variety of animals and wonderful scenes in the world, gouache painting handsâ€
"hi, I am bri, I am a background painter, I like all kinds of things that are different and cute."
"hi, I am a cam, I am going to the art school this year. My dream is to be an illustrator, one hand to paint, one hand to fight cancer!"
"hey, I am serena malyon. I have painted a lot of women. These women are not what people usually see. I want to explore the charm of women and express them through painting."
"hi, I am meyo, I am currently a freelance illustrator. I like to paint all kinds of things, especially pink and green."
“hello! My name is Ri, I am a freelance illustrator, my work is about 20th century fashion, and color!â€
There are many more than this, each painter has his own style...

Kelly said that she would put together the works of these female artists who participated in the #VisibleWomen label, and all employers who want to find a painter can get this booklet from her for free...
I hope that in this way, the talents of more female painters can be appreciated...
