*DC: In 1972, the Women’s Liberation Movement still nascent, DC decided to devote one of its 100-Page Super-Spectacular issues to female crime-fighters. Adventure Comics at that time was headlining Supergirl, and with #416 , she was joined by her sisters in superherodom – an epic Wonder Woman story from 1948, in which the Amazing Amazon faced several of her deadliest enemies; the first appearance of the Black Canary from 1947; a 1943 solo for the fabulous Phantom Lady; and from 1949, a tale of the Star-Spangled Kid’s sister, Merry, Girl of a Thousand Gimmicks! Oh, yes, and there were a couple of Supergirl stories in there as well. All this behind a striking wraparound cover by Bob Oksner featuring almost all of DC’s super-femmes to that date (wot, no Legion Ladies? Shame!). The white cover background means that it’s seldom found in a non-grubby state, but this copy has escaped that fate, and is clean, gleaming, with excellent squarebound spine and only the lightest of corner stress. VF+ £79. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
