Miss America Comics 70th Anniversary Special #1

I’ve never heard of this super hero before this special. She’s apparently Timely’s answer to Wonder Woman. Anyway, in this issue, the hero discovers a plot to use mind controlled zombies by the Nazis and that brings her to a naval shipyard, where she goes undercover.

It’s a pretty decent tale with her enemies looking like Wonder Woman’s actually. All dressed in leather, portraying various German stereotypes, like a Bavarian Beer Girl with deadly pretzels, and very S&M.

My biggest problem is that in the 1940s Miss America story, she’s blond, curvy, and doesn’t wear glasses. But in the modern story, she’s brunette, stick thin like Olive Oyl, and she wears bat-wing glasses. Why the change?

By the way, the reprint story was actually a very good mystery and the art wasn’t half bad either.

Worth Consuming.

Rating 8 out of 10 stars.
