Diane Noomin (born 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American comics artist associated with the underground comics movement. She is best known for her character DiDi Glitz, who addresses transgressive social issues such as feminism, female masturbation, body image, and miscarriages.
Noomin is the editor of the anthology series Twisted Sisters, and published comix stories in many underground titles, including Wimmen's Comix, Young Lust, Arcade, and Weirdo. She has also done theatrical work, creating a stage adaptation of DiDi Glitz.
Noomin was born in Canarsie, the eldest of two sisters. The family moved to Hempstead, Long Island, in 1952, and then back to Brooklyn in 1960. She attended The High School of Music & Art,Brooklyn College, and the Pratt Institute.
Noomin's first comics work was published in 1973 in Wimmen's Comix #2, and soon after had stories in Young Lust and El Perfecto. The first DiDi Glitz story, "Restless Reverie," appeared in Short Order Comix #2 (Family Fun, 1974). Noomin's work appeared in all seven issues of Arcade, co-edtited by Bill Griffith and Art Spiegelman.
