Above: the ladies joined by Streamline and Captain Might both created by Denis Gifford and more to follow if my eyes and hands can manage it!
The Golden Age of British comics! Isn't it wonderful ? Acro Maid, Phantom Maid, Electro Girl, Catgirl.... Reader was head of his time... Nd the figures are cool ! Take care, Terry - and enjoy comics....and figures ! TTFN.
ReplyDeleteHe really was. Considering the almost bondage outfit of Cat-Girl (with a whip to boot!) and the fact that the characters were all tough and no compromise he was WELL ahead of his time. Sadly he was never interviewed though Denis Gifford did know him -interviewing creators was not a big thing back then. He was a true pioneer of the feminist character. Have fun (no sign of the package yet so may still be "at sea!)
ReplyDeleteYep. Character development is an interesting and under rated concept - especially in retrospect. I hope the package gets to you... Another will be on the way, but much diminished due to 'damage ' - kids will draw on anything ! TTFN Ta Ta.
ReplyDeleteThey snatch packages from you and draw on them now??? Japan has slipped down low LOL!
