I'd seen Louise Simonson's DC COVERGIRLS on stands when it was new but wasn't too impressed with most of the choices. I freely admit that this may be nostalgia on my part, as I prefer the comics covers of my youth to many-- though not all-- of those published today.
The other week I picked up a cheap copy of the book, and once I had a clear idea of everything it covered, I decided to touch on some of those "better covers" featuring "femmes" of some sort, though not invariably "formidable" types.
In the original version of this blog, I devoted some posts to some of these, including:
The second SUPERGIRL
The first SUPERGIRL and the third BATGIRL combined:
The first BATWOMAN
One of the two best Golden Age CATWOMAN covers
KNOCKOUT
THE LEGION
STAR SAPPHIRE
THE GOLDEN GLIDER
Now, these are only the best DC covers that I've reproduced so far; a really good survey of "girls on covers" would have to include all companies. So whenever I update this feature, I'll take a stab at some of DC's competitors as well.
And just to prove that I don't necessarily have to confine myself to pulchritudinous pictures, here's a cover featuring a "dominant female" that I certainly HOPE no one finds sexy.
