CAPTAIN KIDD "Sorceress of the Briney Deep"

She's not exactly a "heroine"...

...but she certainly knew how to deal with cutthroats and brigands as this never-reprinted tale from Fox's Captain Kidd #25(1949) proves!

Anne Bonny was a real female pirate.

When pirates briefly became a "hot" genre in comics after superheroes and heroines died out at the end of the Golden Age, she made several appearances in both historical retellings like this or one of the few romance comics to feature a pirate-themed story, seen HERE!

Both writer and artist are unknown, but the pencils/layouts look like Sheldon Moldoff, the artist of Moon Girl!

(The inking looks like one of the several Matt Baker imitators who worked for the Iger Studios who supplied Fox's stories.)

BTW, this post was part of the RetroBlogs' tribute to the new pirate series, Black Sails, now airing on Starz!

MOON GIRL "Sky Sabotage"

She wore a red/yellow outfit with blue shorts and could bring down an airplane with her bare hands...

But she wasn't Wonder Woman!

She was the short-lived Golden Age superheroine, Moon Girl!

Written by William Wolfolk and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, this tale appeared in EC's never-reprinted Moon Girl #3 (1948).

If there seem to be obvious elements of Wonder Woman in Moon Girl, perhaps it's because Wolfolk's wife, Dorothy was a writer/editor on, among others, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Supergirl, and romance titles at DC Comics!

MOON GIRL "Rockets for Riches"

A super-powered princess in red/yellow/blue who constantly rescues her heroic boyfriend...

...nope, it ain't Wonder Woman, bunkie!

We previously-presented her origin tale HERE, so today we're going a little further in her history to present her arch-enemy, Satana in this never-reprinted tale from EC's Moon Girl #3 (1948)!

Written by William Wolfolk and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff.
