After your enjoy this week’s brand new comics I encourage you to enjoy a blast into the past with a brand new collection that celebrates rarely seen tales of super women.
Divas, Dames and Daredevils: Lost Heroines of Golden Age Comics is packed with high adventure with hard boiled detectives, tough reporters, daring pilots, masked vigilantes and powerhouse champions with extraordinary abilities. Today fans celebrate when a female superhero headlines her own comic book series. This collection takes you back to an era when women ruled the anthology comics.
This is the second book from Mike Madrid. The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy and the History of Comic Book Heroines) celebrated the women we love and how they influenced and were influenced by society. Now Madrid shines the spotlight on forgotten heroines who kicked butt as cops, journalists, spies and goddesses devoting a chapter to the different types of heroines followed by a classic tale not seen in decades.
Reading Divas, Dames & Daredevils: Lost Heroines of Golden Age Comics is entertaining, insightful and lovingly crafted collection comic book fans and history buffs will love. Madrid has an encyclopedic knowledge of his subjects but he make it feel fun and you can sense his passion for comic heroines.
Mike Madrid will be appearing at the third annual Geek Girl Con, this weekend in Seattle. To see Mike in person is like having a history class with the coolest most comedic professor you could ever want to have in school. He will you to the “lost” heroines who were wonders before Wonder Woman on Saturday at 12:30pm.
