Si Spurrier Makes A Stand For Panel Parity Of Gender. By Standing Down.

ladiesmakingcomics:

Writer Si Spurrier was supposed to be on a “How To Write A Comic Script” panel today at London Super Comics Convention, but in support of Paul Cornell’s pledge to give up his seat on panels to qualified female creators when the panels are fewer than half women, he followed suit and gave his seat to cartoonist Tammy Taylor:

Taylor’s work can be seen on her site, http://dreamtripper.net/, and her DeviantArt page.

I would like to extend some heartfelt kudos to Mr. Spurrier and Mr. Cornell for their support of women’s voices in comics!

Damn, I love it when good writers are also good humans. Rock on, Si.
