Distressed Crimefighteress
Saluting D.C. Comics Peril-Prone Heroines
You're probably thinking that "Distressed Crimefighteress" is a bit of a
mouthful. I'd have to agree but it's the best acronym for D.C. that I could
come up with. I considered "Dangerprone Chicks" and "Damsels Captured" but
neither sounded likely to convey what this page is all about. So unwieldy
or not I've made my choice.
Why single DC out in particular? Quite simply when I was younger they had
all my favourite characters which is why I have so many DC comics cluttering
up my basement. I've largely given up on superheroes and heroines. These
days I read things like Cerebus, Bone, Preacher, The Invisibles and other
adult comics and graphic novels. But I retain a certain fondness for the
comics you'll find on this site.
So what's in here you ask? Covers and some contents scanned from my comic
collection, most of them dating back to the seventies. Ah, the glorious
seventies when comics were a quarter and heroines got themselves into tight
scrapes a lot more regularly than their male counterparts. What you won't
find is sex and nudity, everything in here was sold on newstands at grocery
and drug stores across North America after being approved by the Comics Code.
Which, incidentally, was a lot stricter back then that today. But I realize
some people will consider this site politically incorrect. If you think
scenes of fictional characters in danger will offend you there's a simple
solution. Don't look at it, don't proceed any further, don't follow the
link and use your browser to find something else to look at. On the other
hand if you enjoy the fantasy of heroines getting into and out of perilious
situations then
