Spider-Woman and The Shadow

 

Jessica Drew has become entangled in mysteries regarding her origins before.  Perhaps The Shadow could help her uncover some long-hidden truths.

Like, for instance, that she might be the maternal granddaughter of Richard Wentworth and Nita Van Sloan? ;-)

Seriously, though: nicely intriguing concept,, Ross.

How about Jessica Drew and Nancy Drew?

Or, failing that, how about Galactus vs. the Transformers?

Hmmm --- not Spider-Woman and The Spider - Master of Men?

That's what I was trying to hint way back at the top! I must've been too subtle.

I remember a reader once asked if Margo Lane and Lois Lane were related. The editor said, if so, their common ancestor may have been Lazarus Lane -- El Diablo from Weird Western Tales.

Ah, yes! The Diverging Lanes Hypothesis.

Seriously, though; her being the grandniece of The Shadow and Margo Lane might be a great way of explaining why Lois is one of the few people not freaked out by Batman's theatrical appearances and disappearances.

I presumed they were cousins when DC licensed The Shadow in the 1970's at Neil Adams request.

Putting Spider-Woman into a Pulp-Fiction 1940's serial vibe definitely makes sense.

Now, if only we could have Stupendous Man to take on the Condiment King!

Perhaps to keep him from villainously spreading mayonnaise on hamburgers all over the country!!
