Barbara Slate

Barbara Slate has done it all in her over four decades in the industry. Not only is she one of the few female artists who has created, written, and drawn comics for both Marvel and DC, but her textbook, You Can Do a Graphic Novel, is a pioneering how-to for the comics field. She started in the mid-1970s with the comic strip Ms. Liz, which was featured in greeting cards and Cosmopolitan magazine. Another highlight was creating Angel Love for DC, a grown-up series for teens. Barbara has also written extensively for Archie Comics, including more than 100 Betty and Veronica stories. Her graphic novel work includes Yuppies From Hell and Getting Married and Other Mistakes.When not creating, teaching or speaking, you can find Barbara on her site, barbaraslate.com, on Instagram @barbara_slate, or on X @barbaraslate.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.
