LADY SATAN II "Satan Wants a Child!"

When Last We Left Comics' FIRST Black Anti-Heroine...

...well, so much for a happy reunion for the newlyweds!

And things are about to get even weirder...

Written by Al Hewetson (under the pen-name "Howie Anderson") and illustrated by Ricardo Villamonte, this never-reprinted tale from Skywald's b/w magazine Scream #4 (1973) takes "parental rights" to a whole new level.

LADY SATAN II "What is Evil, and What is Not?"

We learned the origin of the first Black anti-heroine HERE...

...now let's continue her never-reprinted, all-too brief (and uncompleted) saga, as she researches the story of Tituba, the Black servant whom Salem residents thought was a witch back in the 1600s...

Written by Al Hewetson (under the pen-name "Howie Anderson") and illustrated by Ricardo Villamonte, this never-reprinted tale from Skywald's b/w magazine Scream #3 (1973) presents an extremely-exaggerated version of historical events during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93.

LADY SATAN II "Macabre Beginning"

With the success of Warren Publications' Vampirella, in the early 1970s...

...it was inevitable that another barely-clad anti-heroine would appear in a b/w comic magazine, where the Comics Code didn't apply!

But, this one was demonic, not vampiric...

This is definitely not the Golden Age Lady Satan!

From her first appearance in Skywald's Scream Magazine #2 (1973), the never-reprinted (and never-completed) saga of Satan's betrothed pushed the boundaries of both good taste and coherent storytelling.

Created by writer Al Hewetson and artist Ricardo Villamonte, Anne Jackson also made comics history as the first Black anti-heroine!

BTW, Skywald was also responsible for comics' first Black superheroine, ButterFly two years earlier, as detailed HERE.

Lady Satan (II) would make three more appearances in Scream and Psycho magazines before disappearing without a proper conclusion to the storyline.
