The Morally Amiguous Sorceress Of Zoom

Few characters have flipped back and forth from antagonist to protagonist as much as the Sorceress of Zoom. Created by Sandra Swift, this malevolent magic user ran through all 20 issues of Fox Feature's Weird Comics starting in 1940. The unnamed Sorceress rules the flying city of Zoom which can appear wherever she wants it to, and regularly she would take it to different parts of the world causing whatever kind of trouble whether she intended to or not. Sometimes she's a villain, sometimes she's an anti-hero, and even the inexplicable anti-villain which is just a term writers came up with so they could add a little more depth to their flat main character. The Sorceress learned magic along with an unknown stranger and then turned the citizens of Zoom into her own twisted creations. The Sorceress Of Zoom is one of the first super villainesses who got their own reoccurring self-titled segment in a Golden Age comic, but as it was with several villains back then they weren't all inherently evil due to the fact that she's a woman and subject to be wooed by the occasional handsome suitor who usually pretended to love her in order to get back to their true love. The Sorceress had insane reality-warping powers including invulnerability, transmogrification, time travel, and of course hypnosis which is how she regularly reigned in whichever handsome guy happened to be hanging around at the time during one of her daily crusades of global conquest. Aside from her would-be boyfriends, she regularly butted heads with other wizards like Zoro, Druid, Morgan le Fey, and even big daddy Satan himself, usually because they were the resident hero type defending their people from the invading forces of Zoom, or were a competing bad guy looking to outbid the Sorceress, but that didn't stop her from picking up arms against the Axis Powers when they were treading in her way for world domination. The Sorceress was of course a bleached blonde babe in shimmering scantily clad attire that made her look like a samba dancer or something out of a Vegas showroom, although that was a regular outfit for otherworldly divas back then. If you're looking for a bipolar enchantress who might be your best friend at one minute and guard you with her godlike powers only to have her play a Reverse Uno and decimate your whole town by turning everyone into zombies at the flip of a coin, then the Sorceress is your ideal prom date.

This Ain't Your Dick Tracy Wrist Radio

Dick Tracy might heighten the concept of the wristwatch radio, but only the Honor House Products Co. had the coconuts to really try to make a working one for fans of the comic strip detective. Edwin Wegman's mail order company ran from the 1950s-80s that was responsible for some of the biggest scams in comic book ads including Sea Monkeys, X-Ray Specs, and the outdoor child-sized Polaris Nuclear Sub, so their place in exaggerated advertising is cemented in infamy. Their "Amazing Wrist Radio" was not really a watch, but a miniature radio receiver that was powered by a germanium diode which does emit low level radiation, so hopefully nobody actually got cancer from this little doodad. It comes with a private earphone which probably could get lost really quickly in the bustling era of the Space Age. The $2.98 price wasn't much for when this ad ran in the 1960s, which nowadays would be around $30.00, even though the plus is it had a broadcast range of at least 50 miles. H...

The Fall Girl

Image
One of Joe Kubert's rare characters was that of Hollywood Stunt-Girl which was a space filler in first two issues of The Three Stooges by St. John Publishing in 1953. Jeanie Steele is a freckle-faced bleach-blonde stuntwoman on the set of a movie studio's latest western being directed by Mr. Schnotzelfritz, a stereotypical German with an outrageous accent. Handsome publicity agent Danny amazes at Jeanie's fortitude much to the dismay of the jealous actress Grace who wants him to pay attention to her. After Danny takes Jeanie out for the night, Grace is determined to win Danny's affections. A few days later, Jeanie is playing the part of a female football player which must have been a serious rarity back in the 50s, and Grace has a stuntman under her employee try to foil Jeanie's efforts but she's just too much for him to successfully take down without tipping his hand. Grace again tries to off Jeanie by sabotaging a motorcycle she's riding on that Jeanie man...

The OTHER Super-Ann

Image
Centaur Publications' spinoff character of Mighty Man named Super-Ann wasn't the only character from that publisher to share that sobriquet as a totally different one premiered a year later in what was essentially a showcase for the Chicago Mail Order Company. CMO Comics from 1942 was essentially a catalog for a mail order company, and the anthology would highlight their various products in a way that was as subtle as a falling cannonball. This second Super-Ann instead of being superpowered Ann Star was instead Ann Allan, a non-superpowered heroine who was basically a young socialite with some fighting skills that would frequently come across one caper after another in Arizona. Unlike Super-Ann the First, Super-Ann the Second had a small team that worked with her instead of a shapeshifting crimefighter who was such a silent partner that not even his partner knew he existed. Ann Alan had two girls as her running crew, "Freckles" Doyle and Susan Green. Freckles would al...
