SPITFIRE #1

 As far as I know, this was the first-- but not last-- comics character named Spitfire.



MISS AMERICA #2

 Since I already covered the Miss America of Quality Comics, I should probably let the other shoe drop and feature a fight-scene for the slightly later Timely Comics character.

JO YOUNG-HEE

 From an oddball Korean manhwa titled XO SISTERS, which I've just started. (Note: finished it quickly; this is the only good scene.)

AKANE of LOVE TYRANT

 There are various girls named "Akane" in manga, but I suspect the one from this series is the scariest.

PHANTOM LADY AND SYONIDE

 Yet another incarnation of the Golden Age character against one of DC's many lady assassins.

NAGATORO

 As I recall, this scene from the anime DON'T BULLY ME, MISS NAGATORO is an imaginary sequence that doesn't appear in the manga. But I could be wrong. The boxing-girl in question is the titular Miss Nagatoro, and the young fellow getting slammed is her "sempai,' whom she bullies because she really likes him.

KAY MCKAY

 I may dump the alphabetical thing for now, since occasionally I come across some trivia-item I want to blog about right off-- as is the case with the Ace Comics obscurity, "Kay McKay, Air Hostess," who must have been the first adventure-oriented stewardess in comics.

THE THORN (1970s)

 Plucking her rose gets you all thorny.

SUPERGIRL


 

I love clumsy comic-book writers. What exactly does Supergirl propose to "pound into" her cousin, and how's she gonna do it?




RAINBOW of THE DNAGENTS

 Groucho, he get an ouch-o from RAINBOW.

MARGIE MURPHY

 Teen violence (OSCAR #1) from the same artist who made TESSIE THE TYPIST into a slapstick gag strip.

FF #138: GINGER

 Ginger Snapp almost snaps her boyfriend in half, from SUZIE #75.

FF #135: DAFFY DILL

 This comedic wrestling-girl started out as rather homely, but by this time she took on a more toothsome apperance.

FF #133: BRANDY

 Without necessarily putting any labels on Frank Cho, let it be known that he's really good at f/m beatdowns.

FF #128: TALISMAN

  A cool splash-panel punchout by Alpha Flight's "Native Canadian" Talisman.



FF #127: SHANNA THE SHE-DEVIL

While Sheena was the first jungle-girl in comic books, Shanna was-- well, not the last in all comics, but the last one initially published for newsstand (rather than direct-market) comics.





FF #126: RUNAROUND SUE

 Not the worst super-name ever, but she's right up there.



Friday, July 16, 2021

FF #125: POLARIS

 X-babe Polaris gets a power upgrade for some reason I forget.





FF #124: NAMORA

 From 1948, Namora supplies some motion on the ocean.





FF #123: MISS AMERICA (1942)

 A rare punchout-scene from the first Miss America, who usually clobbered crooks with special powers.



FF #122: LADY SHIVA VS. CATWOMAN AND TALIA

Three of the most comely chicks in the Bat-cosmos, courtesy of Jim Lee, and arguably better than ever before.
