In a wide-ranging 2015 interview with Sarah Rose Sharp, Kelly Sue DeConnick discusses the process of creating “Bitch Planet” with artist Valentine De Landro, the comic’s fan community, and its relevance to current events. #ComicsStudies #BitchPlanet

Kelly Sue DeConnick & Valentine de Landro’s “Bitch Planet” features considerable nudity (which we will have to censor here). It’s also indebted to exploitation aesthetics. Yet it consistently–and intersectionally–engages & challenges the politics of objectification. 1/15 #ComicsStudies #BitchPlanet

In our last thread, we discussed some general contexts of exploitation films and their relevance to “Bitch Planet.” Now we’re going to zero in on the comic’s engagement with the complex politics of a specific subgenre of exploitation: the women-in-prison” film. 1/12 #ComicsStudies #BitchPlanet
