Little Barda?

When Jack Kirby drew Big Barda, she was, well, big!!

Well, when DC resurrected the Mister Miracle series 3 years after it was first cancelled, well, Marshall Rogers drew her...not so big.

Yup, she was now clearly shorter than Scott Free.

She could still bring it, though, as witnessed in this knockdown, drag out brawl on the moon:

Before anyone objects, A) She had just been brainwashed by Granny Goodness, so she was surely not at the top of her game, and B) a dying Mother Box had just unleashed Scott's inherent "New God" strength and such.

Still, no way should Barda be shorter than Scott...

From Mister Miracle #5 (1971) and #19-20 (1977)

Manic Monday Bonus--Don't Deny Big Barda!!

It's not easy to be a new messiah--especially when your wife is feeling..ummm...needy?

Mister Miracle and company have just gotten back from a little adventure on Apokolips. 

While there, Scott was whisked away by some cosmic being who gave him a very trippy lecture on how to save the universe (long story short--Scott has to set himself up as a new messiah on Earth to free it from the New Genesis/Apokolips struggle).

Well, they get home, but Scott is still processing his mind blowing revelations...

This goes on for many panels...

Many, many panels...

That's an Apokolips mating ritual...

Lesson: when your wife is a god, don't neglect her needs!!

From Mister Miracle #24 (1978)
