Today in Comics History, January 17: Happy birthday, Anne Brontë!

Born on this day in 1820: Anne Brontë, the Brontë sister who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, novels which are not Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights and therefore she doesn't get as much attention as her two spotlight-hoarding sisters. Poor Anne never even got a Classics Illustrated! Let's rectify that with some appearances of Anne in comic books, shall we? Except...they're all with her sisters. Oh well!

So happy birthday, Anne, and tell those sisters of yours to back off, bees! It's your day for once!
