SUPERBITCH the THIRD Black Superheroine! (Conclusion)

...recruited by the US government to rescue missing astronauts, SuperBitch encounters creepy cosmic perils as she retraces their route...
Sadly, this was SuperBitch's only appearance!
Written and illustrated by Ira Harmon in his only print comics work, this 1977 book was part of the output of little-known underground publisher California Comics, who specialized in scantly-clad (and unclad) action heroines!
Harmon cleaned-up the art and reissued the book as a free download HERE.
Note: We're using a scan of the original 1977 book, so it's worth your time to check out his personally-remastered version!
And, Harmon has apparently gotten back into the comics field with a new line of digital books at Reaction Comics!

SUPERBITCH the THIRD Black Superheroine! (Part 1)

Bet you don't remember this Black superheroine...and her rather...unique...superpowers!
Considering she appeared only once, in a poorly-distributed underground comic, that's not surprising!
The fun continues here

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter VII: the Lost Sunrise"

...it's not often you see the story's bad guy facing certain doom, eh?
Now that, boys and girls, is how you do a chapter in a serial!
Move the entire planet!
Punch Adolf Hitler in the nose!
And go toe to claw with a plethora of mutated creatures!
The big problem is...how do you top it?

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter VI: Mr Mind on Earth"

...now that the comic has synopsized the tale, we'll point out you'll be seeing a classic example of "benign racism'!
Actually, you can see the next chapter right here...
TOMORROW!
Steamboat was introduced in the Captain Marvel strip in one of Fawcett's anthology titles, America's Greatest Comics #2 (1942) as a food pushcart owner attacked by criminals.
He became Billy Batson's valet (paid by WHIZ Radio), and it's in that capacity we see him here.
Don't even ask how an under-18 kid has his own penthouse , or was able to sign a contract with a radio station.
As they Say on Mystery Science Theatre 3000...
"If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts,
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show,
I should really just relax...")

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter III: the Second Pearl Harbor"

...you'll note that, even though this is the third chapter, it's the first cover to feature the story!
Over the twenty-five issue run of the serial, only four covers feature it!
Oh, BTW, here's the story synopsis...
The battle continues Thursday back at...
HERO HISTORIES!
Nippo from Nagasaki is hardly the most egregious example of wartime racism against the Japanese.
Captain Marvel's competition, Superman, presented a nastier one in one of his Fleisher Brothers-produced cartoons...
Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by CC Beck and Pete Costanza, this particular tale doesn't show any of the Japanese as monkey-like twisted creatures, as many of the comics and cartoons of the era do.
And I suspect the use of "Nagasaki" in Nippo's full name was mere alliteration, not foreshadowing of the city being the target of the second atom bomb a couple of years later...
