Wonder Woman and 4 Famous Co-Stars!

 

Yeah, this invading army doesn't stand much of a chance here.  Get distracted by all the long legs, and before you know it you're being clobbered!  I guess there are worse ways to lose a battle.

And when they were done here, they went after Ben Grimm for a tickle contest just to lighten the mood.
Since Ross doesn't need paper to print on, he doesn't need to be affected by the paper shortage either. There would be a lot of issues needed for this gem.

I've always had similar opinions about Zatanna's fishnet stocking. If I were a male foe of hers, she wouldn't have to use magic backward-speak on me. Just one look at those nylon-clad legs would have me surrendering, instantly!

Same with Black Canary. Hey.

Bob Greenwade said...

I'm not much of a leg man, myself. But I do note that four of these five women have bare shoulders.

This does look like a very fun late-Golden Age adventure, Ross. I can't think of a single thing I'd change, except maybe (maybe) give this collection of battle-ready beauties a team name. And I can't think of a good one right off the top of my head.

Well, given the surname name of one of the artists, how about...

"Sultann's Harem"!

Carycomic said...

I second that emotion. :-)

My only question is 'Why are they being attacked by Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?"

Dr. OTR said...

Maybe name the team "Captain Prince's Lively Hearts Club Band?"

Though I have to admit I'm a bit distracted by the perspective on that cannon. It is clearly aiming far to Diana's left, yet its cannonball has bounced off her bracelets! Are they somehow magnetized? Do they magically attract ordinance?

Dr. OTR said...

I just realized "Captain Prince's Lovely Hearts Club Band" would probably be more in keeping with golden-age sexist attitudes towards distaff dynamos.

And regarding that errant cannonball: cannons from that era were notoriously inaccurate and unreliable! Reminds me of Tom Lehrer's song about the former Nazi scientist who worked for the US space program:

"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department," says Werner von Braun.

Any chance of a modern day version?

Wonder Woman (or Donnaa Troy), Felica Hardy, Namorita, Shanna the She-Devil, and Bulleteer!

I'd rather see a DC/MLJ crossover. Donna Troy meets her long-lost father, Thomas "Fly-Man" Troy. And Felicia Hardy meets her long-lost uncle; Ralph "Jaguar" Hardy.

Bobbo said...

@Anonymous: Maybe Felicia could meet up with her two famous brothers, Frank and Joe, the Hardy boys!

Marc H said...

Maybe if the boys were investigating a crime Felicia was involved with!

How about Nancy Drew reuniting with her former mentor in detective work, her aunt Jessica Drew?

Carycomic said...

Or, better yet; make Nancy Drew the long-lost cousin of Jessica's father! Perhaps the result of involuntary cryogenic suspension like Captain America.

I can see it now. Nancy is trying to solve the disappearance of Cousin Jonathan and his wife Merriam. Towards that end, she hires a private eye who's a missing persons specialist: Paul Kirk!

Their trail leads them to Central Europe, just before the invasion of Poland. And, along the way, they somehow run afoul of a mad cryobiologist named...Joar Makent.

Their subsequent disappearance leads to a brief search by a big-game hunter named Rick Nelson. When he finds the real Paul Kirk dying from frostbite (in mid-August of 1939), he promises that he will find Nancy and return her home. But, by September 1 of that same year, certain extenuating circumstances force him to temporarily break that promise.

In short? By all means, have Nancy Drew team up with Spider-Woman. But, it would be great if the Paul Kirk Manhunter (nee Rick Nelson) could be a guest-star!

Bob Greenwade said...

Hm. Could Paul Kirk have a descendant named James?

Ross said...

Bob - see STF #2557, April 2019 for that answer.

Given how court room dramas seem to be making a comeback on TV, how about the She-Hulk, as Jennifer Walters, having to defend Dane Whitman against a plagiarism suit made by Peyton Parks (the Black Knight of Zenescope Comics)?

Bob Greenwade said...

Ah, yes... this one. Thanks for the pointer!
