Sensational G-Girl Scheduled For Champions Appearances!

Posted on by

Heroic Publishing has reshuffled the lineup of their flagship comic book title, and scheduled Billi Jayne Jensen, The Sensational G-Girl, for a series of Champions cover appearances.

Sensational G-Girl cover appearances are now on tap for Champions #57, 59, 61, and 63, with more almost certain to follow.

The G-Girl stories in these issues of Champions will be in addition to stories appearing in the G-Girl’s own magazine.

In Champions #57, a story by the G-Girl’s creator Dennis Mallonee, with artwork by Alessandro Scacchia, America’s newest costumed heroine is obliged by guest-stars Flare and the Black Enchantress to stop ignoring it, and sart dealing with certain consequences of the fact that she really has become the kind of girl most boys just drool over.

In Champions #59, the G-Girl has to deal with a very different kind of menace when her obnoxious kid brother Jimmy decides that a great way to raise extra cash would be to sell pictures of her not wearing her magical costume. “Candid Camera” will be written by Dennis Mallonee and drawn by Italy’s Gaetano Petrigno.

In Champions #61, Mallonee and Petrigno will team up again for a trip to the local “Soda Shoppe” with the Billi Jayne and the gang.

And in Champions #63, tentatively scheduled as a book-length, 24-page adventure, after Billi Jayne helps Flare and the Liberty Girl put on a USO show for our troops in Korea, things get a bit more serious. A lead has turned up that just bring our G-Girl face-to-face at last with the villain who kidnaped her mother and stole the powers of Giant.

In the pages of Champions and the forthcoming Sensational G-Girl comic book, Heroic Publishing is breaking new ground, following the adventures of a gorgeous teenaged superhero girl who used to be a teenaged superhero boy. The G-Girl’s quest to rescue her mother and regain the power that was stolen from her is a classic coming-of-age adventure that will explore the question of gender identity in contemporary culture in a way that comics never have before.

Meet Sensational G-Girl Artist Gaetano Petrigno

Official Press Release

MEET SENSATIONAL
G-GIRL ARTIST
GAETANO PETRIGNO

Come this March, when Heroic Publishing’s newest superheroine, the sensational G-Girl, makes her long-awaited debut in the pages of the 55th issue of Heroic’s flagship Champions title, she’ll be drawn in the clean, crisp style of the talented Italian artist, Gaetano Petrigno. Since this is a name that may be unfamiliar to American fans, we asked Gaetano to tell us a bit about himself. Take it away, Gaetano.

I studied at the Italin School of Comics, and am at the moment working on the comic book “Sensational G-Girl.” I am also collaborating as an inker on the Red Whale publication, “Pop Pixie”.

My work has been published in the Italian comic book, “Sangue e Pizzo Nero,” with a story written by Francesca Paolucci. Moreover, I worked with Enrico Teodorani on the publication, “Adios Djustine.”

The majority of my work has been as an inker for several Italian authors such as Aurelio Mazzara (Bluejaye) and Quirino Calderone (Maschere).

Now I am hoping to make it in the American market, and to continue my carrer as a comic book artist.

Plans are for Gaetano’s work on the G-Girl to appear regularly in the pages of Champions, giving fans bonus adventures of America’s newest costumed heroine in addition to the G-Girl stories that will appear in her own magazine. Gaetano’s G-Girl adventures are currently slated to appear in Champions #55, 58, 60, and 62, with a principal focus less on knock-down, drag-out fights with super-villains, more on the personal stories. The G-Girl stories you’ll see in Champions will be all about the trials and tribulations of a teenaged girl with super-powers trying to adjust to the profound changes in her life that this peculiar new circumstance of being a superheroine has caused.
