  • 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!
