Wonder Woman and other Comic Book Heroines

Best-Selling Author Jodi Picoult is no stranger to comic books. She's experimented in the past and meshed graphic novels with her more traditional form of prose. Now she's been tapped by DC Comics to write a five part series featuring Wonder Woman. We'll talk with Picoult about the project, and we'll explore the role of women in comic books.

We'll also hear from comic book artist Trina Robbins. She's the author of From Girls to Grrrlz: A History of Women Comics from Teens to 'Zines. (Our Trina Robbins interview was produced by Elizabeth Chur and came to us through the Public Radio Exchange.)
