....Women do not do any of the creative work in connection with preparing the cartoons for the screen, as that work is performed entirely by young men. For this reason girls are not considered for the training school.

Jon B. Cooke talks to the Providence Phoenix about his new Comic Book Creator mag, the first issue of which spotlights the great Jack Kirby.
"See that Fighting American right there?" Cooke says, pointing to rows of plastic-sleeved comics displayed on shelves behind the counter. He ticks off other titles on display: The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men. Jack Kirby had a hand in all of them, he says.
He walks to a wall rack and pulls down a comic. "Unquestionably this is a Jack Kirby co-creation: Thor, the mighty Thor," he says, opening the book to the credits page. "And as we can see right there, there is no co creator credit."
"The parasites in their shiny suits control much of Jack Kirby's life's work now," Cooke writes in the story's explosive finale. "The Marvel/Disney empire is raking in billions of dollars from the fruit of his imagination and they aren't leaving scraps for his children and grandchildren."
Speaking of Jack Kirby (as we so often do): Blogger Pat Barrett rightfully chastises the New Yorker for not properly crediting an Iron Man illustration by the artist in the mag's latest issue.
When every other week your back pages feature an “illustration” or two that’s nothing more than some Photoshop fun with stock photos, the person doing the shopping gets credited as well as the people who snapped the pictures and the syndicate who bought them. Why couldn’t the same respect be extended to one of pop culture’s most tragically under respected creators?
