It Ain't Me Babe Comix[1] is a one-shot underground comic book published in 1970. It is the first comic book produced entirely by women. It was co-produced by Trina Robbins and Barbara "Willy" Mendes, and published by Last Gasp.[2] Robbins and other staff members from a feminist newspaper in Berkeley, California, also called It Ain't Me, Babe, contributed.[3][4] Many of the creators from the It Ain't Me Babe comic went on to contribute to the long-running series Wimmen's Comix.[5]
