Trina Robbins
One of the most important writers in the history of female characters in comic books is Trina Robbins. She wrote 'The Great Women Superheroes' and the even better 'From Girls to Grrrlz' about the change over 50 years from Romance style comics to kick-ass women superheroes.
I'm hoping that when she updates both of these, she will of course include Jalila and Aya in her lists - and the remarkable growth and influence of AK Comics - including the positive role models of women that AK is trying to develop in the Middle East.
