Trina Robbins
“Once there was a time when more girls than boys read comics, a time when comics for girls sold in the millions, outnumbering every other kind of comic book.
And it all started with Archie.”
― Trina Robbins, From Girls to Grrrlz : A History of Women's Comics from Teens to Zines

“The movie style eventually known as ‘Film Noir’ served up hard-bitten crime stories featuring morally bankrupt men and mysterious femme fatales, blending violence and sexual desire into bleak tales of modern life, without clear messages of morality. The comic book industry offered younger readers its own version of the Film Noir mood with a wave of crime comics that began sweeping the newsstands around 1947.”
― Mike Madrid, Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines
