Last Monday, April 20, we held a new face-to-face session of the project “Visitising comic book illustrators and artists on Wikipedia”, coordinated by Wikisphere and funded by the Women's Institute. Eight participants gathered to create and translate (from their English and French versions) articles about women in comics who did not yet have a presence on Wikipedia in Spanish. Between this second workshop and the previous, we have already published 21 articles.

The session took place before the start of the four talks of the CYCLE II | The (r)evolution of comic book authors: From Classicism to Modernity, driven by Elisa McCausland y Diego Salgado, which start in the last weeks of May.

In addition to the work done during the workshop, several editors in our community continue to publish new articles and translations autonomously, starting from the complete list of the project that we are building on Wikipedia. This listing takes its name from the book Vineyard: universal story of comic book authors, a reference work that collects the history of comics made by women on a global scale.
