She Makes Comics traces the fascinating history of women in the comics industry. Despite popular assumptions about the comics world, women have been writing, drawing, and reading comics since the medium’s beginnings in the late 19th century. And today, there are scores of women involved in comics and its vibrant fan culture. Featuring dozens of interviews with such vital figures as Ramona Fradon, Trina Robbins, Joyce Farmer, Karen Berger, Kelly Sue DeConnick, and Becky Cloonan, She Makes Comics is the first film to bring together the most influential women of the comics world.
Karen Green was born in Jackson MI, raised in Fort Lee NJ, and moved into Manhattan in 1978. After working for a bartender for many years, she received her bachelor's degree from NYU, then did graduate work at Columbia University, and got her library degree from Rutgers University. Not long after Columbia University hired Green as the librarian for Ancient & Medieval History, she proposed that the libraries begin acquiring graphic novels. This collection quickly grew, and Green began writing a column for ComiXology.com, "Comic Adventures in Academia." She served as a judge for the Will Eisner Comics Industry Awards in 2011, sat on the board of trustees of New York's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA), and later joined the board of directors of the Society of Illustrators.
