Interview with Sydney cartoonist Queenie Chan from 2012 Adelaide Oz Comic-Con.
Professor
Jane Chapman speaking at Macquarie University last year with her
'Uncurated' lecture 'Comics and the representation of female
war-time bravery in Wanda the War Girl (Australia) and Paroles d'Etoiles
(France)'. As well as Wanda creator Kathleen O'Brien Chapman also speaks briefly about Sydney cartoonist Moira Bertram.
From the MacQuarie University description of her lecture,
Professor Jane Chapman from the University of Lincolnshire will present
Comics and the representation of female war-time bravery in Wanda the
War Girl and Paroles d’Etoiles. During the Second World War, an Aussie
comic strip character called Wanda the War Girl was more popular than
Superman: servicemen even painted her picture on their planes and tanks.
What is the appeal of representation of women in 1940s comics as a
subject? Why does historical nostalgia attract so many exhibition
visitors?
