About the Artist: Aline Kominsky-Crumb (1948-2022) was an American alternative comics artist, painter and sculptor. One of the first women active in the underground comix movement, Kominsky was a regular contributor to Wimmen's Comix, co-founder of Twisted Sisters and chief editor of Weirdo. Her audacious and witty autobiographical comics explored many taboos, ranging from sex, drugs, facelifts and abortion to her Jewish upbringing. With a great gift for self-mockery, Kominsky dared to portray women, including herself, as being just as mundane as men. She often depicted herself in an unflattering, even disgusting light. Despite the sometimes grim subject matter, Kominsky always found comedy in her topics. Her honesty was refreshing and helped readers take things not that seriously. In 2016, ComicsAlliance listed her as one of twelve women cartoonists deserving of lifetime achievement recognition. See less
