My name is Stephanie Chan and here I am at my local library.
This is the first recording for women Into Comics
Women Into Comics is a project that I started
uh... Basically I wanted to show that there are real women that are into comics
all sorts of comics
all sorts of different women
in all sorts of different occupations backgrounds and reasons
the reason for the site specifically
is because, there's been.. I've encountered so many men
that do not realize how many different kinds of women
from all walks of life
that actually into comic books
as well as
more jarring is that I've encountered a lot of women
that are afraid to admit or feel alone that they are into comics like it's
something unusual to be into
i'm a lifelong comic fan
i've been since i was
since i could remember
um, my mom said I used to tear into my sister's comic books
and um...
this is the reason for the site
so what exactly will Women into Comics do?
my plan is to showcase the fans the readers and the collectors of the medium
the people who truly loved what comic books are
and then I want to feature creators
i wanna show you that there's so many great women behind so many great stories
that bring them to you every month every year that comic books come out
and next i think it's very important that we talk about the retailers
uh... the people who distribute and bring the comic books to the fans
whether it's in-store online or digitally
and last i also wanna in feature the all-important bloggers podcasters
reporters... the people that tell us day-to-day happening and the news of the
comics
that are very passionate about
the hobby and cover it online to spread the word
but i can't do this project by myself
and that's where i'm hoping you can come in and helped me on this
if you know a great woman, or maybe you are a woman and and you want to be featured on
my website please get a hold of me the website is Women Into Comics

uh... will have a nice chat
um... if you prefer to just the audio interview only that's fine or text

and share your story
because the only things that's really important for me
is to make sure that there are people out there that realize that were not
alone
they're not alone and uh... there are so many wonderful women into comics
and guys I am not leaving you out of this either
if you happen to know a great woman that is into comics
