Where the hell were the women in the Tintin comics?
I recall a rich old society dame but that was about it.
Anyone else know comics like this?

In most of comics of my childhood like Tintin, the women were few and far between… Rarely completely absent but the rares ones played a small role.
To quote a US comic:
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
I would think the old war comics in the 40s had very few women in them. At least the ones I have read Like Sargent Rock and Nick Fury did not seem to have many at all.

Some writers and artists are somewhat asexual and don't write women well. Tintin was very old style "boys own " adventure comic. The women in Steve ditto comics look like Nancy reagen and ayn rand. Love craft adaptations are short of women too...

Power with Girl is better.
I remember that the first issue of the Geoff Johns/ Jim Lee Justice League seemed to have no woman with a speaking line. That was odd. I think it was more that it was a comic that could be read quickly (one-sixth of the total story) that was a conflict between multiple male superheroes.

Then there's those Gay adult comics. I've seen the covers and now realise how women feel about "exaggerated" drawings of them!
