Young All-Stars #12 (1988)

Young All-Stars #12 (1988) is the tenth and final comic book in the Ollie's grab bag. The cover features Flying Fox, Fury, Tsunami, Dan the Dyna-Mite, Iron Munro and Neptune Perkins. This issue's story it titled "'M' Is For 'Monster'!" and starts with Iron Munro showing off his first super hero costume that only Dan likes. Tigress also appears in this issue as a team member. Fury gets miffed and storms off and Arn chases after her only to find her frozen. Robotman, Mekanique and Amazing Man from the All-Star Squadron are standing there and they tell him that Fury ran into Mekanique after stomping off the elevator. Arn slaps Fury, who proceeds to tell them that she had a dream about a giant Mekanique going on a rampage. Mekanique and Fury hug it out but the later has a vision of the giant getting ready to stomp on Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle. She starts getting angry and the Greek fury known as the Blood Avenger starts possessing her. Luckily, Arn is able to calm her, which makes her faint.

The rest of the Young All-Stars come running to the scene before they all take her to a secret underground lab on Bedloe Island, home of the Statue of Liberty. There they meet Professor Mazursky and Robotman's friend, Dr. Grayson. Per Degaton the lab assistant is lurking around. In the lab, the team find man interesting sights including G.I. Robot, an unnamed plant man, a giant ape that is obviously King Kong, a T Rex from Monster Island and Miss America in suspended animation. Arn goes over Fury's origins again before Dr. Grayson tries to her with a giant machine. Meanwhile, Per Degaton meets with Deathbolt, who is carrying the brain of the Ultra-Humanite. A battle quickly starts before Ultra-Humanite's mind transfers into the body of the T Rex.

I had several issues of this series (#1, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21 and Annual #1) but sold them years ago.

Women Wednesday: The Tigress #1

The Tigress #1 (August 1992) from Heroic Publishing is one wild comic book. She rips a fellow prisoner's eye out for calling her a pet before telling Doctor Katherine "Kitty" Kaat (lol) that she remembers being the goddess Bast in ancient Egypt. After switching bodies with the psychiatrist, her own body swivels up from old age. She walks out of the prison and arranges a meeting with her arch nemesis, Flare. The Tigress kisses the superheroine before offering her a glass of milk (drugged, of course). She plans of switching bodies with Flare, but finds out that she is possessed by the spirit of Eos, the goddess of the dawn. After a battle on the astral plane, the Tigress manages to defeat Eos and then switches bodies.

This is where it gets really weird, folks.

The Tigress slaps Flare/Eos, who is trapped in the body of Doctor Kaat, before turning her into a house cat.

I really love the artwork by Paul Abrams. There is some cheesy pin up poses of both the Tigress and Flare, which adds to the comic's charm.
