Supergirls of the 40's and 50's!
(sequel to "PEGGY LEE -"Why Don't You Do Right?")
Like Rosie The Riveter, women heroes blossomed in the 40's before being almost erased in the 50's. But they rallied back at the end as the 60's dawned...
This issue: The mysterious RAMONA PATENAUDE, one of the few women artists who bucked the old boy comics system; the self-evident villain QUEEN OF EVIL (1941); Wonder Womans' frenemy The CHEETAH (43); scorching FLAME GIRL and WILDFIRE (41); Captain America's sidekick GOLDEN GIRL (47); the retroactive GHOST GIRL and villain WARRIOR WOMAN (77); Airboy's frenemy VALKYRIE (43); the kinky BLACK ANGEL and her nemesis BARONESS BLOOD (41); the aerodynamic SKY GIRL (44); Moon Girl's bane, SATANA (47): the West's wild FLAMEHAIR; the original Rose & THE THORN (47); cowgrrrl THE BLACK PHANTOM (54); supreme jungle queen SHEENA (37); from space, TARA The Pirate Queen (47), MYSTA Of The Moon (45), and FUTURA (46); the tundran raider ROSE Of The Yukon (48); the first, brief SUPERGIRL (49); Dollman's dreamhouse DOLLGIRL (51); the Phillipines' own wondrous woman, DARNA (50); Simon & Kirby's teenage TOMBOY (54); African-Amercan writer/ artist JACKIE ORMES and her TORCHY strip (50); the grand dame WONDER WOMAN transitioned into the Silver Age (58); Lois Lane again became a SUPERWOMAN (51); the original BATWOMAN, Kathy Kane (56); the 30th Century's own SATURN GIRL (58); Adam Strange and ALANNA of Rann (58); the first AQUAGIRL (59); crashing the mile high club for boys, LADY BLACKHAWK (59); LANA LANG gained brief powers (59), while Superboy meets ungrateful discrimination when magic makes him a girl (60); and finally, the Maid Of Steel herself, SUPERGIRL (59)!
