Thanks to a tweet by @babydull<\/a>, I’ve just discovered a women’s erotic comic from 1976 called Wet Satin<\/em>. According to the Women In Comics Wiki:<\/p>\n

Wet Satin: Women’s Erotic Fantasies<\/b><\/i> was a two-issue series of erotic comics by women edited by Trina Robbins<\/a>. The first issue was published by Kitchen Sink Press in 1976. Last Gasp reprinted the first issue and then published a second in 1978.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can buy Issue 1<\/a> of Wet Satin via Amazon. The blurb there says:<\/p>\n

…this vintage feminist adult comic from 1976 was one of the first to focus on women’s sexual fantasies. This issue features smart, sexy, first-rate adult comics by Trina Robbins, Cathy Millet, Margery Peters, Terry Richards, Joyce Farmer, Melinda Gebbie, and more, with stories about sexual huntresses, women in bondage, menstruation, threesomes, and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Google Books result<\/a> for Comix: The Underground Revolution by Dez Skinn briefly mentions Wet Satin, along with another erotic comic, Tits and Clits:<\/p>\n

Women comix creators responded with less graphic but still risque material in such titles as Tits and Clits, which ran 7 issues from 1972-1987 and Wet Satin (1976-78). Tending to be less prurient than its masculine-driven equivalents, Tits and Clits still ran such strips as Fonda Peters Vaginal Drip, Maxine and Dennis Visit Touch Ma Spa, Vibrator Cozies and the Miss Universal Udder Contest.<\/p>\n

Trina Bobbins joined the fray with Wet Satin: Women’s Erotic Fantasies<\/em> [1976]. This featured strips with such titles as Afose Fuck The Cock-Pit. Feline Frolic and Nifty Ways to Cleave Your Lover, produced by a host of female creators showing they had as much gusto as men, including Mars, Farmer, Gebbe and Mary Wilshire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This piece at Boing Boing<\/a> says that the publisher Denis Kitchen originally had trouble getting Wet Satin printed until he found a sympathetic printer in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The Wikipedia entry for Tits and Clits<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

\n

Seeing what they perceived as the inherent sexism of the mostly male-underground comix scene, as well as the phoniness of mainstream pornographic magazines like Playboy and Penthouse, Joyce Farmer and Lyn Chevely published Tits & Clits (under the publisher name Nanny Goat Productions) as a sex-positive feminist comic. (In addition to Tits & Clits, the duo also produced a one-shot comic about reproductive rights, Abortion Eve, in 1973.)<\/p>\n

Condemned by many feminists (even other cartoonists), as well as the expected antagonism from male underground cartoonists, Tits & Clits also suffered from a 1973 pornography investigation by the Orange County, California, district attorney’s office. Nevertheless, Farmer and Chevely published three issues of Tits & Clits on their own from 1972\u20131977 (often in print runs of 10,000\u201320,000). The title was exclusively written and drawn by Farmer and Chevely for the first two issues, and was opened up to other contributors starting with issue #3.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n“The Bosomic Woman” is from Tits and Clits. Apparently she fought crime with her boobs and her silver disco outfit. I want to see that movie.<\/strong> Image from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s another Bosomic Woman image and some commentary at this site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amazon has a number of Tits and Clits issues in their store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bitch Media has a good history of Women’s Comix here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve never really been into comics but maybe it’s time I sought out some copies of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In the 70s and 80s there were a number of underground comic publications – or comix – that featured women’s erotic fantasies. Two of these were Wet Satin and Tits and Clits. I did a bit of research into these comix.
