Book Description
ComicsAlliance and ComicsBlend Best Comic Book of the Year BUST Magazine “Lit Pick” Recommendation Certified Cool™ in PREVIEWS: The Comic Shop’s Catalog “Mike Madrid gives these forgotten superheroines their due. These ‘lost’ heroines are now found—to the delight of comic book lovers everywhere.” —STAN LEE Wonder Woman, Mary Marvel, and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle ruled the pages of comic books in the 1940s, but many other heroines of the WWII era have been forgotten. Through twenty-eight full reproductions of vintage Golden Age comics, Divas, Dames & Daredevils reintroduces their ingenious abilities to mete out justice to Nazis, aliens, and evildoers of all kinds. Each spine-tingling chapter opens with Mike Madrid’s insightful commentary about heroines at the dawn of the comic book industry and reveals a universe populated by extraordinary women—superheroes, reporters, galactic warriors, daring detectives, and ace fighter pilots—who protected America and the world with wit and guile. In these pages, fans will also meet heroines with striking similarities to more modern superheroes, including The Spider Queen, who deployed web shooters twenty years before Spider Man, and Marga the Panther Woman, whose feral instincts and sharp claws tore up the bad guys long before Wolverine. These women may have been overlooked in the annals of history, but their influence on popular culture, and the heroes we’re passionate about today, is unmistakable. Mike Madrid is the author of Divas, Dames & Daredevils: Lost Heroines of Golden Age Comics and The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines, an NPR “Best Book To Share With Your Friends” and American Library Association Amelia Bloomer Project Notable Book. Madrid, a San Francisco native and lifelong fan of comic books and popular culture, also appears in the documentary Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines.

Book Description
Hi guys, Judy Fawcett here 'The Mistress of Distress' presenting yet another book titled, Damsels In Bondage, it is the definitive book on comic book covers with damsels in distress. As you know if you read my bio, I grew up reading comic books. It all started when I would sneak in my brother's room, grab one or two of his comics and kidnap them back to my room and read them. I became hooked and loved reading the superheroes who would sweep in and rescue girl or damsel who was usually bound in some precarious predicament and rescued in the nick of time. I soon was imagining myself in those situations tied up struggling and waiting to be rescued by a handsome hero. My love of comics is as strong today as it was when I was a child so that's why I created Comic Book Covers of Damsels In Bondage. Damsels In Bondage has over 1,000 comic books with damsels in distress cover art in it. This book is a great resource for comic book collectors to have at their finger tips.With Damsels In Bondage added to your library, you'll be able to pull it out at a comic book store or convention and reference it to see if you need to add a purchase to your collection.

The action flies off the page in stories such as "The Tragedy at Massacre Pass," and "Breakout in rondo Prison," from the greatest earliest publishing houses, including: Fawcett, Charlton, Avon, Youthful, and more.Golden Age Western Comics is a collection unlike any other and is sure to delight fans of rootin-tootin, gun-toting, adventure of all ages!
