Getting the Elusive Female Audience
Thomwade shows us all how to impress female comic book fans in Advice for Artists & Writers: Getting the Elusive Female Audience. My favorite of the list:

6. Trace Porn: If you do decide to go for more realism, trace porn! This way, you get those rare women who want a more plausible body type. And bonus: poses. By tracing porn you can get those realistic poses and facial expressions that occur when fighting villains. You can really capture the closed eyes and wide open mouth that scream "OH YESYESYESYES! I am kicking your assssssssssssssss!" Plus, the girl is already naked, so you can draw the costume as it should be...looking like body paint.


Finally, Greg Land's secret strategy revealed!

Hat-tip: Tekanji.

8. Whores!: Trying to think of a gritty and tough woman for your comic? Make her a prostitute. Women really appreciate it when you comics feature a cast of women composed primarily of strippers and prostitues. In fact, some writers fill their work with nothing BUT strippers and prostitutes. Women really appreciate this attention to their career options.

Mr. Miller, there's a gun to your head. Don't write about... whores whores whores whores whores...

>_>

And now I'm wishing I could find that Something Positive strip.

Yeah, I know a lot of people who like him. I haven't read any of his stuff so I can't say for myself.

If you saw the Sin City movie, it´s taken directly from his comic books so you that gives you an idea of his work.

I just love the ruggedness of his art and the story. It´s rude and in your face but there is something refreshing about it, nevertheless. Check it out if you can. I recommend "That Yellow Bastard" as I thought it was one of the most intersting plots in the movie/series. And the women, despite their professions are pretty cool, imo.
