Cross reference your supposition with panel...Pappy,<br />Cross reference your supposition with panel 3 of the story's page 11 (aka page 31 of the book). I think the parachute harness eliminates the possibility.<br /><br />FWIW, I think Zinda (as well as Kara in some of her shorter-skirted outfits) wore something resembling the skirts for cheerleaders and ice skaters.<br /><br />It's generally agreed that the art for the Blackhawks declined after the sale to DC. By this time Chuck Cuidera was 48 and Dick Dillin was 35, not exactly over-the-hill. I guess they just felt they would ride that gravy train until it crashed. Anyone have any idea who wrote this? It's such a generic story it could have been in Challengers of the Unknown or Sea Devils with hardly any changes.<br />Thanks!Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-33312579498076845952015-07-04T19:50:25.268-07:002015-07-04T19:50:25.268-07:00JD, I think that you've identified the culprit...<a href="/profile/13620923188907903146" rel="nofollow">JD</a>, I think that you've identified the culprit. (And I'd forgot about the panties, which I thought stupid at the time, and think stupid now.) <br /><br />The first <i>Blackhawk</i> issue that I saw (and which I still have) was the one in which they were recast in '67.

No need for complicated costumes, he showed us that a Super-Girl surely can do her deeds just while wearing her panties, plain and simple. For example:<br /><br />http://thefifthbranch.com/gorilladaze/supergirl-1-2/<br /><br />Super-suction breath is a remarkable power ! :-)<br /><br />Mr. Pappy. how can I get a D.O.M.A. premium card?

I was in the U.S. Army in 1967-68, and didn't buy many comics. Mercifully, I missed this phase of the Blackhawks career.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-12157027354707130462015-07-03T22:56:26.903-07:002015-07-03T22:56:26.903-07:00I think the lowest point in the group's career...I think the lowest point in the group's career was in 1967, when someone decided to turn them into "superheroes" of sorts, changing their names and costumes (Blackhawk = "The Listener"), and introducing "hip" dialogues.<br /><br />http://www.cosmicteams.com/quality/profiles/Blackhawks2.html<br /><br />Quote from "World's Worst Comics Award" n. 2 (Kitchen Sink 1990):<br /><br />"We should note that the Blackhawks did all this for a secret agency called G.E.O.R.G.E. (Group for Extermination of Organizations of Revenge, Greed and Evil). In an era lousy with secret agencies, G.E.O.R.G.E. was the lousiest."<br /><br />It was not U.N.C.L.E., for sure.<br /><br />It didn't last long, thank heavens, but anyway their glory days of Nazi-busters were gone. Subsequent wars and political warfare were not so good as WW2 for any comic hero I guess.<br /><br />By the way, as a 70's kid I can't help but note that the Hawks (as a concept) could have inspired the GI-Joe line of toys (both in their 70's and 80's version) and some neat Mego stuff:<br /><br />http://www.megomuseum.com/eagleforce/index.htmlJ_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-33852187626750645202015-07-03T13:34:17.896-07:002015-07-03T13:34:17.896-07:00She nose how 2 have adventures & look fashione...She nose how 2 have adventures & look fashionebable shes a roll modal yo srsly omgAlicia Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884901856229759881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-57542948485194119012015-07-03T00:58:48.839-07:002015-07-03T00:58:48.839-07:00One way of understanding why a culture might want ...One way of understanding why a culture might want to keep the dames away from the rough stuff is to consider how long it would take for the population to recover if 50% of the young men were killed, as opposed to how long if 50% of the young women were killed. When it comes to reproduction, women are intrinsically more <i>scarce</i>. <br /><br />(I occasionally wrestle with the fact that I <i>adore</i> brave women, and dislike cowardice in either sex, yet would want my partner to run from danger.) <br /><br />The panel with the flashing is <i>so badly composed</i> that I don't know what to make of the flashing in this case. In any case, it is Blackhawk himself who is being flashed, but he's turned his head, and would be presumed to be looking downward, rather than at Zinda. <br /><br />Back in the early '70s, Supergirl was being drawn by an artist who was fond of drawing Kara <i>qua</i> Linda facing the viewer, with her legs spread. (I don't remember the artist, and I'd have to move furniture to get at my collection right now; but <i>you</i> probably have that datum immediately at hand.) A lot of people noticed. When a different artist was assigned to the character, someone else at DC was reportedly heard to joke that “crotch shots” drawn by the one would now be replaced by “crotch shots” drawn by the other.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
