ANGEL AND THE APE was a short-lived DC feature that teamed up Angel O'Day-- a hot, martially-trained blonde-- with Sam Simeon, an intelligent but inarticulate ape. The series was never as funny as its writer thought it was, but the art by Bob Oskner retains a trippy charm.

Just realized I'd never done a pic of the second DC Huntress, whom I liked better than the Helena Wayne version.

AMAZON ART #30

A punchout scene from the "underage-but-not-really" Green Lantern ARISIA.

SUB-MARINER #58 introduced a new potential love-interfest for Namor, a red-sklnned lady named Tamara. She gained super-strength when she came to Earth but was not in Namor's league. She only made a handful of appearances in the Silver Age series and in the 1990s NAMOR title, and seems to have disappeared since.

Excellent BLACK WIDOW fight-scenes from master artist Gene Colan.

AMAZON ART #27

SAILOR MOON was never a favorite of mine, but here's a fight-scene from her TV show anyway.

AMAZON ART #26

Though she was just a supporting character in THE PHANTOM, girlfriend Diana Palmer was often portrayed as a tough cookie--as witness the first panel of the first PHANTOM comic, where she's practice-boxing a guy. Pretty good for 1936!
