The first is that the artist wants to change what they have to draw every panel (like Byrne did with Wolverine).

I can’t even read my digital comics at work during break without looking over my shoulder after getting too many rude comments from coworkers who glance over just as I turn the page and get a full page smack in the face of a big breasted super-heroine.

Perhaps artists have since felt the pressure to “normalize” the look of their female characters, as both metrics have begun to recede moving into the 2020s. Filling in these other characters paints a more complete story of the key trends in how the portrayal of women in comics has evolved over time.

Since the demise of the CCA, the industry has seen a marked increase in sexualized representations of female characters, as well as a significant rise of horror titles.
