Air Pirates
Shary Flenniken grew up in Alaska, Panama and Seattle, where she studied at a commercial art school. She began working on small-press comics in Seattle and moved in 1971 to San Francisco, where she joined the Air Pirates collective. She was a marginal contributor to the Air Pirates, and the only member not to be sued for their Disney parodies.
She was later widely recognized as an influential figure in the integration of feminist concerns into underground comics. Air Pirates co-founder Bobby London was married to Flenniken for several years.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or pirates:
“I wonder whether mankind could not get along without all these names, which keep increasing every day, and hour, and moment; till at the last the very air will be full of them; and even in a great plain, men will be breathing each other’s breath, owing to the vast multitude of words they use, that consume all the air, just as lamp-burners do gas.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Power first, or no leading class. In politics and trade, bruisers and pirates are of better promise than talkers and clerks.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
