It Ain't Me Babe #1
July 1970 | Standard
Key Facts
First comic book produced entirely by women
36-page one-shot by various female cartoonists who were frustrated by the misogyny that was a cornerstone of the adult-themed underground comics
Prolific and enduring publisher, Last Gasp purchased the rights to the issue for $1,000
20,000 copies of the first print run were sold and an additional 20,000 split between the second and third printings
The title, 'It Ain't Me Babe' is a snub to the Johnny Cash song of the same name due to its lyrical content
The success of this issue led to a follow-up, all-female liberation project called Wimmen's Comix Collective
