THE SUPERGIRLS Author on A-FORCE

The A-Force will assemble this summer as Secret Wars leads to an all-female Avengers squad. Marvel announced G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett will co-write the upcoming team book starring She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and more fan-favorites.

An all-female Avengers book is significant so I reached out to the author who literally wrote the books on female superheroes.

In The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism and the History of Comic Book Heroines, Mike Madrid traced the legacy of female heroes and influence on pop culture. Madrid then took us back to rediscover Divas, Dames and Daredevils: Lost Heroines of The Golden Age and Vixens, Vamps and Vipers: Lost Villainesses of The Golden Age.

What does this comic book historian think of Marvel’s new Avengers team? Continue reading THE SUPERGIRLS Author on A-FORCE
