Noomin's career in underground comix began in 1972 and included appearances in \u003cem\u003eWimmen's Comix, Young Lust, Short Order, Arcade, Real Girl, Lemme Outta Here, El Perfecto, True Glitz, Aftershock, Mind Riot, Titters\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eWeirdo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlitz-2-Go\u003c\/em\u003e stars Noomin's signature character, DiDi Glitz, the frustrated middle-aged glamour-puss and anxiety-ridden suburban Sisyphus. All of her stories, beginning with her debut \"Restless Reverie\" in 1974's \u003cem\u003eFamily Fun\u003c\/em\u003e Comics, are finally back in print for the first time in over 30 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Noomin was a pioneer in the emergence of women cartoonists in the 1970s.
