About.Manga’s Deb Aoki nabbed an interview with Elfquest creator Wendy Pini, and it’s well worth reading, even if you’re not planning to read Masque of the Red Death (Go! Comi). Among the comments I found most interesting was her advice for aspiring female comic artists:

Any woman who wants to survive in this business needs to get over herself, think of herself as one of the guys and get on with it. You can’t bring feminist crap into this. You’ll just get attacked. If you want to be attacked, well, fine. But if you want to work, give in, be one of the guys, respect them, respect yourself and don’t expect them to take care of you emotionally, because they won’t. That’s the advice I’d give to any woman who wants to get into this business now.
