Abstract
TERRONES, Montserrat. Chantal Montellier y Ah!nana. El debut del feminismo en el cómic europeo. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2023, n.123, pp.218-239. Epub June 06, 2023. ISSN 1853-3523. http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi123.4413.
Chantal Montellier, key author of feminism in comics not only in the Franco-Belgian tradition but worldwide, has a long and coherent career as a committed author, which goes beyond her position in terms of her graphic discourse and has led her to participate in different unique initiatives. Indeed, Chantal Montellier participated in the unparalleled creation of the magazine Ah! Nana, the first and ephemeral feminist comics magazine in France in the 1970s. Montellier is also one of the founders of the Association Artémisia, the first association working spreading the comics created by women existing in Europe, which has become the source of inspiration for similar experiences in other countries. In this article we will review Montellier’s artistic career and her political and feminist commitment, the unique experience of Ah! Nana and her links with the discourse of radical feminism, and we will look for the heirs of both in the current comics, in the figures of the Swedish Liv Strömquist and Germany’s Ulli Lust.
