Judy Alden from the two-story series The Adventures Jack and Judy Alden, is on the face of it, an unlikely “dominant” comic book heroine. She and her brother, aged about 16, live in a rather British-like wartime American world of jolly hockey sticks and ripping adventures. However, the indomitable Judy’s toughness and resilience is on full display in the story featured, with some cracking action-girl dialogue. In the first page Judy takes on the crazed villain, Archibald Bach, single handedly after the boys have been flattened. “Hey! Where are you going, mister?” she declares before tripping him up and then fearlesssly pursues him with the ironic words, “Wait a minute, I have a friend who wants to meet you!” Unfortunately after that, the “meddling girl” is thrown to the ground by the baddie (well, he is twice her size) before he makes his escape.

Later Jack and Judy continue the pursuit of Bach, but this time by speed boat along a rapidly flowing river. Jack checks Judy is up for the chase, and her answer is pure gold: “Full speed ahead, skipper, we simply must capture that terrible man!” combining female determination with a touch of patronising snobbery toward the scoundrel.
Tumblr media
And as the next page reveals, it is indeed Judy who captures the ‘terrible man”. When he loses control of his boat in the rapids, it is actually Judy who rescues the fugitive and hauls him aboard her and Jack’s boat, a bedraggled prisoner.
And the denouement is in the final page below. Judy has the demoralised captive securely tied up (and gagged too for some reason!) next to her in the boat and when relieved former damsel in distress who had been terrorised by Bach, greets the victors with thanks, Judy’s reply is effortlessly upper class trash-talking: “Forget it! We had fun catching him!” Judy later helps tie her captive to a chair while Jack calls the state patrol on his ham radio to come and collect him. There is even time for a swim at the end: all in a day’s work for the adventurous teen, clearly. Judy therefore deserves a mention in this blog, I think.
These pages are from the Judy and Jack story Adventure on Silver Lake, which appeared in CMO Comics #2 (1942)

I have a team of OC super heroines, and they often find themselves transformed in strange and unusual ways. Here we see Mirage, a rookie hero with illusion creation powers,in purple. And an OC of Captain Harlock, Blue Pixie, in blue. Both find themselves transformed into helpless waitress robots in a diner styled from the 1950s. Both are helpless to do anything but roll around serving the customers.

Chapter 1: The Kidnapping in Sin City
The night draped over Sin City like a dark veil, the neon lights buzzing and flickering, casting long shadows across the damp streets. Crime was the city's pulse, never sleeping, always lurking. Power Girl hovered above, her keen eyes scanning the urban labyrinth below. The city's desperation called to her—a beacon of hope in the pervasive darkness.
Tumblr media
Suddenly, a crackle of static buzzed through her communicator—a police scanner frequency picked up a desperate call. "All units, we have a 10-79, possible kidnapping situation at the docks. Mayor Meyer is unaccounted for, suspected abduction by unknown forces." Power Girl tensed, her instincts on high alert. Despite the risks, the potential trap laid by her enemies, her resolve hardened. A life was at stake.
-o-O-o-
Guided by her unerring moral compass, Power Girl descended swiftly toward the docks. The air grew thick with the salty stench of the sea mixed with the acrid smell of industrial waste. As she approached, her senses tingled with anticipation and dread.
Landing softly, she surveyed the area. Warehouses loomed like silent sentinels, their windows dark, the vast spaces deserted—or so it seemed. She moved silently, her every sense alert for any sign of the mayor or his captors.
But as she rounded a corner, the trap was sprung. Figures emerged from the shadows, not just one or two, but a dozen, encircling her with malicious intent. "Welcome, Power Girl," a voice sneered from the darkness, dripping with venomous pleasure. "We've been expecting you."
"Just a few of you guys?" Power Girl taunted, confident that her night of crimefighting would be over in minutes. "You creeps are nothing to me. Where is Amos!"
Tumblr media
"He is not here, you bitch! And he won't be here until we beat you down dirty!" said one of the hencemen from the Hands of Man.
"You really think so?" Power Girl rolled her eyes, her confidence overcame her. "Men, your ego and your arrogance is brutish and stupid! Let's get this done and over with!"
-o-O-o-
As soon as the first henceman stormed toward Power Girl with a first punch, Power Girl launched into action, her fists a blur of motion. She knocked out the first attacker with a swift uppercut, then spun to land a powerful kick on another. For a moment, it seemed she might overcome the ambush through sheer strength and speed.
But as more assailants joined the fray, her situation grew increasingly dire. A strange sensation washed over her, a creeping doubt, as if her usual luck had suddenly deserted her. Her punches missed their marks, and her movements felt oddly sluggish. The realization hit her—something was amiss, more than just a physical trap.
As the chapter closes, Power Girl finds herself grappling not only with her physical foes but with an unnerving sense of her own powers faltering at critical moments. The shadows of the dockyard seem to close in around her, her breath visible in the cold night air, her confidence shaken as she faces the unknown threat.
-o-O-o-
What would Power Girl do next as fatigue was filling her up and her opponents were closing in on her on all sides?
The next chapter... coming soon!

Once upon a time . . . there was a wicked queen. A hungry wolf. A thing in the dark. A dragon thief. A falling star, crooked in the sky. The lines between heroine and Other, fair and wicked, are illuminated in five transformative stories.
Five fairy tales, five perilous journeys, five star-crossed romances. A Snow White retelling that focuses on the wicked-queen-to-be and her mirror. A take on the classic parable of a deer pursued by wolves. A powerless maid making a deal with Shadows. A wishing star pursued to the ends of the earth and the knight sworn to return her to the sky. A princess trapped by a dragon with her only visitor a burglar.
The Crooked Stars is a collection of sapphic stories that shows there are many ways to read the stars and many ways for love to find a way into places it never was before. If you enjoy enchanting tales of adventure and magic, you'll fall in love with this mesmerizing collection that contends with the cruelty and beauty in fairy tales.
Official release date April 16th, 2024.

“Well, you can scarcely be my trueborn daughter. I’ve never taken a wife, that’s well known. What should you be called?" “I . . . I could call myself after my mother . . .” “Catelyn? A bit too obvious . . . but after my mother, that would serve. Alayne. Do you like it?” (Sansa VI, ASOS)
[…] You are marked by the way you speak, so you must be some girl of Westeros . . . but a different girl, I think." She bit her lip. "Could I be Cat?" "Cat." He considered. "Yes. Braavos is full of cats. One more will not be noticed. You are Cat, an orphan of . . ." (Arya II, AFFC)
this is a moment where the stark girls have to let go of their true selves in order to survive, and as they are forced to become something else they immediately choose to name themselves after their mother. sansa and arya's identity goes through a temporary "death", and in death they seek to recover their lost mother in a way where she can encompass them. like in fairy tales and gothic literature the heroines are often deprived of the mother figure because she signifies unity, strength and protection, all of which would avoid the conflict that these heroines need to face for the story to exist. and asoiaf is a series that pulls heavily from those genres, especially with its female characters because the gothic has always been the subgenre where gender horror is best explored. in order for the the girls' perilous journeys to happen the narrative needed to remove the mother from their lives right in the beginning, first through separation, then later with death. but as both sisters' identities symbolically die they try to have their mother symbolically live through them as a way to derive strength from her memory.
