Trina Robbins  Trina Robbins (born Trina Perlson; August 17, 1938 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American cartoonist. She was an early and influential participant in the underground comix movement, and one of the first few female artists in that movement. Both as a cartoonist and historian, Robbins has long been involved in creating outlets for and promoting female comics artists. In the 1980s, Robbins became the first woman to draw "Wonder Woman" comics. She is a member of the Will Eisner Hall of Fame. Robbins was an active member of science fiction fandom in the 1950s and 1960s. Her illustrations appeared in science fiction fanzines like the Hugo-nominated "Habakkuk". Robbins' first comics were printed in the "East Village Other"; she also contributed to the spin-off underground comic "Gothic Blimp Works". In 1969, Robbins designed the costume for the Warren Publishing character Vampirella for artist Frank Frazetta in "Vampirella" #1 (Sept. 1969). She left New York for San Francisco in 1970, where she worked at the feminist underground newspaper "It Ain't Me, Babe". That same year she and fellow female artist Barbara "Willy" Mendes, co-produced the first all-woman comic book, the one-shot "It Ain't Me, Babe Comix". From this period on, Robbins became increasingly involved in creating outlets for and promoting female comics artists, through projects such as the comics anthology "Wimmen's Comix", with which she was involved for twenty years. "Wimmen's Comix" #1 featured Robbins' "Sandy Comes Out", the first-ever comic strip featuring an "out" lesbian. Robbins became increasingly outspoken in her beliefs, criticizing underground comix artist Robert Crumb for the perceived misogyny of many of his comics. She said, "It's weird to me how willing people are to overlook the hideous darkness in Crumb's work ... What the hell is funny about rape and murder?" In the early 1980s Robbins created adaptations of Sax Rohmer's "Dope" and Tanith Lee's "The Silver Metal Lover". In the mid-1980s she wrote and drew "Misty" for the Marvel Comics children's imprint Star Comics. The short-lived series was a reinterpretation of the long-standing character Millie the Model, now an adult running her own modeling agency and minding her niece Misty. Robbins' official involvement with Wonder Woman, a character she had long admired, began in 1986.
