WomenWriteAbout Comics (WWAC) is a comic book website, founded in December 2011 by Megan Purdy. The site has been nominated two times for an Eisner Award, winning in 2020.[1] The site is currently edited by Wendy Browne and Nola Pfau.
History
WWAC (pronounced "Wuh-Wack") was originally published by Purdy as a WordPress blog[2], with writer Claire Napier joining as a co-editor early into its existence. In 2015 WWAC became its own website, set up with the stated agenda to feature a diverse group of intersectional, international feminists who provide equally diverse insight into the world of comic book culture and the comic book industry at large.
In 2017 Purdy stepped down from their role as editor, with Napier following suit shortly afterwards. Subsequently, new editors Nola Pfau and Wendy Browne stepped in to take over the site as joint Editors-in-Chief in 2018.
The site features reviews, reports on mainstream and local conventions, comic book-inspired recipes and crafts, feature essays discussing socio-political happenings in and around the comic book industry, and interviews with members of the comics community.
The website has been archived by the United States Library of Congress.[3]
