It was sad to hear of the passing of Nichelle Nichols this week. I can only imagine how many people that she inspired through her breakthrough role as Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek. She seemed to have a genuine love for the character as well as her fans, and she will be missed.

Nice integration of photo and photo realistic. Disappointed to hear the Batgirl film was cancelled due to budget overruns, poor pre screening, and probably a shift in focus from the new owners of WB.
Actually the shift in focus from the new owners is the sole reason for the shelving.
A masterfully poignant tribute to all three ladies, Ross. :-|
Thanks for doing it.
I loved miss rigg when she gave the big f you to jamie in hame of thrones
WOW!!!THREE HOMERUNS WITH ONE PITCH. The year 1966 was a phenomenal year for fans to be.
This is indeed a great salute to these three iconic ladies of the 1960s, though I'm most drawn to the double role of Roger C. Carmel. I can only imagine that, in the end, he'd come around in at least a couple of others.
@Bob Greenwade: I can just picture Harry Mudd escaping to the past via the Guardian of Forever (after learning about its existence from a reprogrammed Norman).
@Mateus: How dare they shelve the Batgirl movie just because it was "irredeemable"!
I must confess to never having watched The Avengers TV show, but "Batman" and "Star Trek" were two favorites of mine as child of the 1960s. Yvonne Craig as Batgirl and Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura have been two of my favorite characters ever since. So sad to hear of Nichelle Nichols passing. She always seemed like such a classy lady, and her death on the heels of another classic TV favorite Tony Dow from "Leave It To Beaver" was such a blow to classic TV fans. Thanks for a wonderful cover!
I like this cover not only for the three ladies (of which I choose Dame Dianna Riggin the Avengers, over the Batman and especially the Star Trek series), but the choice of Roger C, Carmel as the guest villians Harry Mudd and Colenel Gumm, all that's missing is his role from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
@Paul: maybe Ross can incorporate VTTBOTS with the Jason Mamoa version of Aquaman. With Black Manta hijacking the Seaview to nuke Atlantis!
@Daviticus: And they're still putting Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom into theaters.
By the way, whenever someone asks you who is your favorite Avenger, the best answer is "Diana Rigg as Emma Peel".
I'm still amazed--and vastly disappointed--that Marvel never teamed up with Boom! Studios to do a mini-series teaming the Avengers with Steed and Mrs. Peel.
That certainly would have been this comic collector's dream-come-true!
@Bob: You know I was being sarcastic, right?
You do know Batman 66 teamed with Steed and Mrs Peel for a mini series?
Yeah! But, it would have been fun to see which was more powerful in a bad-guy-engineered fight between Steed and Capt. America. That is; could Steed have used his brolly like a cricket bat to repel Cap's flung shield?
I'm picturing Colonel Gumm prodding Harry Mudd to go from Thief and Conman to out-and-out murderous villain, causing Harry to finally help the heroes, declaring "My name is Mudd and I shalln't dirty it beyond that, you cad!"
@Marc H: I take it you meant to say "...shan't"?
Here's a weird thought, only a little bit tasteless: maybe Harry Mudd's time trip was not a criminal scam, but part of the 20th Century effort by descendants of Dr. Mudd, the physician who treated John Wilkes Booth's broken leg. Mudd was imprisoned for this, although there was no evidence to suggest he was anything more than a doctor who had treated a patient as his oath required him to do.
Allegedly, Dr. Mudd's providing Booth with care was the origin of "His name is Mudd" as a way of saying, "He is disliked around here".
Perhaps Harry was himself a descendant of Dr. Mudd, and wanted Mudd's name cleared.
Thus, Harry is at the Ambassador Hotel on the night Sirhan Sirhan shot Robert Kennedy. The Federation's Department of Temporal Investigations is on hand to stop him from preventing the assassination, but are caught flatfooted when Harry instead maneuvers newscaster Roger Mudd into interviewing Kennedy a few minutes earlier than he had in the original timeline. Thus, Mudd was not present to try to protect Kennedy from Sirhan's bullets, and only Kennedy died, not Mudd as well.
So, basically, Harry Mudd quantum-leaped into Col. Gumm? Interesting. That might provide a somewhat plausible basis for a sequel crossover using photo-captures of Scott Bakula (from both QL and ST:ENTERPRISE)!
