I was thinking about this too with all the recent Fantagraphics Marvel stuff. Like I get archival projects are their thing, but it still seems weird. Do you think it's about branding or capacity or something else?

Yes all the time! (But I'm also the librarian who buys them for my library so 🤷)

lol I will say that one way you can help me specifically and concretely is by buying a copy of Year of the Ring in North America if you haven't already: www.polygon.com/24156672/pol...
We wrote a huge book about Lord of the Rings, out now!
Love The Lord of the Rings? Then you’ll love this book!

Once you start looking, her work is everywhere and she absolutely deserves the recognition of being entered into the Hall of Fame!

But she is also an amazing connection to the golden age of comics working as an assistant to artists like Hal Foster and Tex Blaisdell. She wrote an incredible tribute to this era with her revival of Joe Kubert's Viking Prince.

It was only later that I would learn about her influential and groundbreaking work with Wimmens Comix, Gay Comix, and Pudge. Pushing the envelope with what could be done in comics right along with Trina Robbins, R. Crumb, etc.
