During the Golden Age of comics, publishers offered titles supporting the
war effort — presenting fighting men and their feminine counterparts
— babes in arms! Comic books during this period featured US service-women
fighting all of the axis bad guys and gave several of the most noteworthy women
artists of the era opportunities to create action-packed, adventure-filled,
four-color stories.
Now for the first time renowned pop-culture historian Trina Robbins
assembles comic book stories by artists Barbara Hall, Jill Elgin, Lilly Renee,
and Fran Hopper together with insightful commentary and loads of documentary
extras to create the definitive book chronicling the work of these important
Golden Age artists. This magnificent art book offers page-after-page of good
girl action!
