Women cartoonists: Janice Valleau

Janice Valleau (November 6, 1923 – December 8, 2013), sometimes credited as Ginger or Janice S., was a Golden Age artist and inker who worked for MLJ (Archie) Publications, Charlton Comics, Novelty Press, and Quality Comics.

Janice Valleau was born to John McChesney and Gertrude (Kaiser) Valleau, and grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey.[1][2] Valleau’s father was an executive at Paine Webber. She contracted polio as a child and had to wear leg braces until young adulthood. Her first published work appeared in Smash Comics, published when she was just 16. After high school, she attended the Phoenix Art Institute where she studied commercial art.

When she graduated, she went to work for MLJ (Archie) Publications; Archie creator Bob Montana was also an alumnus of Phoenix. She began working for Quality Comics soon after, and worked in comics for the next eleven years.[3] She is best known for her work on the “Toni Gayle” feature for Young King Cole featuring a glamorous model-detective.

She met her husband, Edward, in 1948. In the mid-1950s, they moved to Pittsburgh, where she continued to work on comics. She left comics in 1955 after the Wertham-era crackdown, which put her off working professionally in any art field. In her 60s, she returned to art and took up painting recreationally and continued well into her 80s.[3] In 1982, she moved to Florida with her husband. They had four children: Steve, Daniel, Dale, and Ellen.[1] Her husband died in 2009 after 61 years of marriage.

She passed away at age 90 in Jacksonville, Florida, after some time in hospice care.

Ahi serva Italia, di dolore ostello

«Ahi serva Italia, di dolore ostello,

nave sanza nocchiere in gran tempesta,

non donna di provincie, ma bordello!»

 Ah, abject Italy, you inn of sorrows,

you ship without a helmsman in harsh seas,

no queen of provinces but of bordellos!

(Dante, Purgatorio, canto VI, vv. 76-78)

Avevamo fatto una scommessa (con noi stessi) qui su come sarebbe sviluppata e concluso l’ennesimo esperimento. Scommessa facile-facile e vinta ancor più facilmente. 

Esattamente 40 giorni dalla data di spedizione arriva (tramite DHL) risposta da Los Angeles mentre dall’Italia nessun segno di vita. Eppure una mail costa poco e prende poco tempo. 

Ma è ovvio che per gli italiani  vale sempre l’affermazione del Marchese del Grillo (sebbene la battuta sia del Belli) xxxx

Qui non si discute la qualità delle proposte ma la buona educazione nelle submissions. 

Non è un caso che i più grossi successi editoriali, letterari, musicali, cinematografici, ecc. vengano dal mondo più evoluto. 

continuiamo così facciamoci del male
