What this episode covers
2022 Eisner Award winners Katie Pryde (Books with Pictures) and Douglas Wolk (All of the Marvels) return to talk about a trio of titles written by women. Each had a short run but left an imprint on the Marvel Universe for decades to come. And remember that, while not all heroes wear capes, nurses are also heroes, and sometimes they do, in fact, wear capes as well!
