Barbara Slate (born May 9, 1947) is an American artist, cartoonist, graphic novelist, comic book creator, and writer. She is one of the few female artists who has created, written, and drawn comics for both DC and Marvel Comics. Her textbook, You Can Do a Graphic Novel, was first published in 2010 by Alpha Books (Penguin/Putnam). In 1986 Barbara created Angel Love for DC Comics, an adult-themed series for teenagers. In an exhibition review, The New York Times described her art as "emphatically of our time with its narrative of passion, gun violence, and female assertiveness."
In 1974, Slate's feminist cartoon character, Ms. Liz, appeared on millions of greeting cards, in a regular comic strip in Cosmopolitan magazine, and as the star in a series of animated segments on NBC's Today show in 1982. Many magazines and newspapers published extensive articles about Barbara Slate and Ms. Liz. Slate was interviewed about Ms. Liz for a seven-page feature in Cartoonist Profiles in 1983.
Comic Book Resources began Barbara Slate Week May 13, 2013 with a column about Angel Love. For Marvel Comics she created, wrote, and drew Sweet XVI, wrote 65 Barbie and Barbie Fashion comics and put her own spin on the Disney classics Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas. She also wrote and did the layout for the comic New Kids on the Block for Harvey Comics and Scooby Doo for DC Comics. Barbara wrote over one hundred Betty and Veronica stories for Archie Comics throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
