Comix Creatrix: 100 Woman Making Comics (http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/whats-on/current-future-events/comix-creatrix-100-women-making-comics), Granary Square, Kings Cross (five minutes walk from the British Library).
Features Alison Bechdel (Bechdel Test), Angie Mills (not sure why they didn't call her Kincaid...), Tove Jansson (Moomins) and 97 others.
Also a programme of events which is about half way through, but upcoming are Bryan and Mary Talbot and female creators who worked on British girls comics of the 1970s (presumably including Misty).
Thanks. Interesting stuff. Smart website. Bookmarked and I'll be checking it out on a regular basis. Will try to get to some of those events.
