Wonder Woman, volume 1 #275 - Thinking Man's Crime

Image
      JANUARY 1981 9th OCTOBER 1980 WONDER WOMAN, Volume 1 #275 THINKING MAN'S CRIME We're in The Huntress backup strip that ran in Wonder Woman, including a running subplot we'll get to later! We start with a magnificent splash page where we quickly explain Earth-Two, Huntress's origins, and Power Girl being there and just show them both in action. Apparently, Gotham is having a bit of a crime spree, a good excuse to show a few pages of Huntress and Power Girl in action, along with some light banter about the situation. Though not too long as this is a backup and we only have eight pages to work with! The final reminder is that the current District Attorney, like many in Gotham, is having a crackdown on Superheroes. To complicate matters the DA, Harry Sims, has a mutual thing for Helena Wayne, not knowing that she's Huntress! She is more inclined to protect his crackdown on heroes, whilst Power Girl is less keen on the idea. It's actually nice that they explain...

The Secret Society of Supervillains #12 - The Plunder Plan

 JANUARY 1978 20th OCTOBER 1977 THE SECRET SOCIETY OF SUPERVILLAINS #12 THE PLUNDER PLAN Because All-Star was bi-monthly (e.g., every other month), only one comic came out in January in the 1970s with Power Girl in it, and it's a disappointing cameo! The Wizard having decided that the Injustice Society fails because they have a loser mindset (very grindset bro of him) jumped to Earth-1 to join the aforementioned Secret Society of Supervillains. He even gets a natty new uniform to boot!
