Review: Danger Girl: Mayday #4

aa - mayOver the course of its publication history, Danger Girl has been a fun if not always too serious take on the espionage genre.  It was originally conceived as a parody of James Bond, and built itself on the concept that it would put the Bond Girls in the spotlight, only that instead of passive doe-eyed victims that they would be lively doe-eyed spark plugs.  The team of three has faced off against a variety of threats, but laying in the background for all of them has been H.A.M.M.E.R., the shadowy group inspired by cartoonish Nazis.  In the very first story of the team, Abbey Chase was recruited to the team as they were led into the hands of H.A.M.M.E.R.  Soon after they were betrayed by one of their own as knife-wielding Russian assassin Natalia was revealed to be a sleeper agent for this nefarious group, and her double cross almost resulted in the deaths of the other two team members.  Natalia was ultimately defeated and seemingly killed and the team went on saving the world.

In the course of its travels though, both H.A.M.M.E.R. and Natalia have shown up repeatedly, though this is the first series which focuses specifically on Natalia’s return.  In so doing, the series has also focused primarily on Abbey as well, much as it always has.  Abbey was the one that had supposedly killed Natalia and was the one for whom revenge was promised at some point.  Over the course of this miniseries, this confrontation has been played to, and in terms of this resolution here, it is maybe what the reader would be expecting and maybe not, but it is still handled well enough.

Alternate Cover

In terms of the actual series though, this maybe ends up taking itself too seriously.  It was built on being a little bit serious, but also lampooning the genre as well which makes women into so much of eye candy.   While the Danger Girls are comic book women, the series is equal in its treatment of the male characters, with overly masculine Deuce that is the rip-off of Sean Connery, overly lascivious Johnny Barracuda who is the rip-off of Bond, and overly violent Agent X who is a rip-off of every other mad killing machine from the movies.  That is to say, that a big part of the dynamic in this series is the almost goofy nature of the interaction of all of the characters and as this series lacks most of them that it ends up being a part of what it could be.  Even Sydney is all but absent as this focuses mostly on Natalia and Abbey.

The end result is pleasing but still a bit of a letdown.  So much of this series relies not on the storytelling but on the characters.  The settings and the plots are absurd, but it is the characters that flesh them out and give them life.  This element was missing for this whole series, instead relying on some more traditional espionage elements that one might expect from a 1960s television.  Fans of the group probably won’t be disappointed, but they will probably not praise this either, except maybe as the setting for more that is to come.

Kubert took this new concept and rose to the challenge. Today Enemy Ace remains one of Kubert’s great achievements.

Popeye: The Classic Newspaper Comics by Bobby London: Volume Two: 1989-1992

Bobby London (w & a & c)

When we say “complete,” we mean COMPLETE! Bobby London’s take on the Sailor Man has often been overshadowed by his being fired from the strip in 1992, ostensibly for presenting a storyline that was an allegory about abortion. King Features Syndicate pulled the final three weeks of strips and daily newspapers began running reprints. Story over in mid-stream.

Now, 22 years later, thanks to the kind cooperation of the good folks at King Features, those three weeks will be included in this second volume of our series. But wait… that’s not all! Turns out that Bobby London produced an additional six weeks of strips beyond the three that were pulled from syndication!
