JACK? OR JACQUELINE?

 I haven't read enough of Go Nagai's VIOLENCE JACK, but apparently the gigantic hero sometimes transformed into both (a) little kid avatar, and (b) a sexy babe avatar. Here's the sexy babe, whose name I do not know.

 

KEEP ON SMILIN'--

 --as you jack off to the femmes of SMILIN JACK. 

The girl with the very long hair and the cornball name of "Simone Legreete" seems to be in tune with Sade in her love of torturing men, whereas Simon Legree mainly tortured for profit.

Here's CINDY THE INCENDIARY BLONE, who took part of her name from a 1945 Betty Hutton flick, INCENDIARY BLONDE.

Here's Cindy punching out Stretch, younger brother of Smilin' Jack, to keep the young guy away from her teen daughter. If I were doing a solo post, it would of course be titled "Stretch Socked."  

RING THAT BELLE! PART 2

 The rest of the decent BUFFALO BELLE scenes.

LUANA TUNES

 I have no clue as to why, around 1973, Warren Publishing decides to issue a very loose adaptation of a scene from the 1968 Italian-made flick LUANA. All I can say is that writer Doug Moench and artist Esteban Maroto made Luana much more combative than the film does. There was also a 1974 paperback adaptation of the flick, which I have not read in a long time. Possibly the film got released to American theaters around that time.

  

DON'T PLAY ROUND WITH THIS LADY

 Lady Fairplay, who had enhanced strength and speed, appeared in three issues of BANG UP COMICS, though only two were available to me for duping.

FISTS OF THUNDER! WONDER WOMAN!

 Starting with issue 160, the pages of WONDER WOMAN saw a big uptick in fighting-feats from DC's favorite Amazon.

As well as a few toughgirl villains, like "Countess Drashka Nishki."

  

SIX YEARS OF "WUSSY WOMAN?"

 I've just finished a deep dive into the generally shallow waters of the Kanigher WONDER WOMAN, primarily to get a sense of what he did from 1959 to 1965. This is not the entirety of the author's work in the Silver Age era from 1955 to 1970 but rather encompasses all stories in the comic from issue #105 to 158. This is the period in which Kanigher introduced a "Wonder Woman Family" to parallel the "Superman Family" of the SUPERMAN books. One interesting facet of concentrating on this period is that I noticed one of the feats the Amazon only rarely performs. Yes, she tosses around heavy weights, drills through rock with her bare hands, and plays "bullets and bracelets." But she BARELY ever hits anyone with fists or feet. I don't know why Kanigher and/or his bosses were so reticent, given that his war books of the same period were generally pretty heavy on fisticuffs. But here's all I found in those sixty-something issues. 

    

The later issues of this period overtly banished the "Wonder Woman Family" from the magazine, but at the same time briefly began emulating the style of artist H.G. Peter during the Golden Age, and that meant that readers started seeing more fisticuffs from the Amazon Princess, particularly as seen in the last page above. For the remainder of Kanigher's run, he and his artists used a lot more physical violence for WW-- but it didn't help her sales, which led to the period of "Mod Wonder Woman."
