Overview
Glitz-2-Go stars Noominās signature character, DiDi Glitz, the frustrated middle-aged glamour-puss and anxiety-ridden suburban Sisyphus. All of her stories, beginning with her debut āRestless Reverieā in 1974ās Family Fun Comics, are finally back in print for the first time in over 30 years.
Noomin was a pioneer in the emergence of women cartoonists in the 1970s. Along with cartoonist and co-editor Aline Kominsky-Crumb, she edited and contributed to Twisted Sisters Comics in its original incarnation as an underground comic book in 1976, and in the early 1990s edited the celebrated collections Twisted Sisters: A Collection of Bad Girl Art and its sequel Twisted Sisters: Drawing the Line, featuring the work of a generation of women cartoonists.
Like many women who wrote and drew underground and alternative comix in the ā70s, Noominās contribution to the form has been unjustly overlooked. This book goes toward rectifying that by collecting all of Noominās best comics as well as spotlighting Noominās other creative outlets such as reproducing set and costume designs and cast photos of Iād Rather Be Doing Something Else: The DiDi Glitz Story, performed by the womenās theatre company, āLes Nickelettesā in San Francisco in 1980 and photos of a larger-than-life DiDi papier-machĆ© sculpture of DiDi that Noomin did for San Franciscoās Little Frankenstein Gallery in 1994.
Fantagraphics has been at the forefront of preserving the best comics by the groundbreaking āundergroundā generation of cartoonists who revolutionized the form in the ā60s and ā70s. Glitz-2-Go is the first solo collection by Diane Noomin.
