I wrote about the anti-street harassment organization Hollaback forever ago in one of my first posts (CLICK HERE).
The group Hollaback Philly has recently succeeded in raising $7,000 to fund a new comic book. Bitch.com reports that the comics creator "Erin Filson wrote and illustrated the book that follows three main characters, each of whom has their own color that's used only on their pages of the story. Two girls who get harassed are red and yellow, and the comic also follows a boy in blue who learns how to be a proactive bystander."
The Hollaback Philly blog has a ton of information on women and comic books on their site and you can follow the whole campaign from the beginning.
The harassment of women is not a rarity at Comic Cons and the group will be selling the book at the one in San Diego. Check out this video from the "reality" show Comic book Men. It is a compilation of the shows most blatant sexist repertoire and it ain't pretty DC WOMEN KICKING ASS.
