Sequential Tart

Since 2000 I have been writing articles, interviews, and reviews for Sequential Tart, which describes itself as:

1. a Web Zine about the comics industry published by an eclectic band of women; 2. a publication dedicated to providing exclusive interviews, in-depth articles and news, while working towards raising the awareness of women's influence in the comics industry and other realms.
