Happy Helenaween!

Celebrate by reading my thoughts on her origin story, as told in DC Super-Heroes #17

Having been on this weird retro kick I've been reading the old WoD Clan Novels.

And I still get a kick that Vykos got so pissed he ripped his dick off and threw it at another vampire.

Then, rather than grow a new one, being a flesh crafter and all, she said bugger it and remade herself as a woman!

For completeness, here's Supergirls

1. Proper respect here! (Justice League Red #2)
2. Pee Gee original (virtual) family in case you needed to compare (for some reason) (Showcase #98)

Talking of Dr Aphra, a personal fave of mine, her latest series has her teaming up (separately) with both Luke and Han.

The covers really show how different actors' image rights affect these kinds of things (Han looks much more on model inside the comic)

Going to tell my kids that this was from Andor!

Damn it, Barry, writing out the two women who created Infinity, Inc and crediting it all to one man!

(New History of the DC Universe #2, still a very pretty book even if there is Power Girl erasure!)

The very important history of Starr Industries!

A "little" foxed, but I now own a copy of All-Star Comics #58!

Ma Hunkel, however, appeared in All-American Comics #3, 25th April 1939.

Now she didn't become the Red Tornado until All-American Comics #20, 19th September 1939, but Shiera didn't appear in costume until All-Star Comics #5, 25th April 1941!

In short, Ma is A, if not THE first female hero of DC!

So a question on @jsapresents.bsky.social had me curious about which female DC hero appeared first!

Hawkgirl (Shiera Sanders) appeared before Wonder Woman (Flash Comics #1, 10th November 1939, compared to All-American Comics #8, 25th October 1941).

In the dying embers of #JSApril I've snuck a look at the latest (new) team calling itself the JSA!

To finish out #JSApril we cover JSA #53 where Power Girl and Wildcat have to survive a deadly stalker!

So, as expected #20 is the last of the current Power Girl run! Whilst it's nowhere near my favourite, it's also not the worse, and was packed with ideas that hopefully get's picked up down the line.

Still dislike the Paige name though, though tbf I'm not keen on Karen either!

To end out #JSApril this week and the next, I'm taking a look at Power Girl's and Wildcat's finest moment of the '00s (along with the rest of the JSA).

Someone asked me where the name comes from, something I'm happy to answer as I generally suck at names!

Basically, it's from these pages (JSA Classified #2) where the boob window was a space ready for a symbol. A symbol that is still pending if you will...

So pretty!
