It's VERY weird. <BR/><BR/>Because on the one hand, men appear to behave more respectfully of their women, but on the other hand there is among some an element of being "chattel"...it's really strange.<BR/><BR/>The Power Girl panels are excellent --Erica Wellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280167919894489135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1146521811947771252006-05-01T18:16:00.000-04:002006-05-01T18:16:00.000-04:00Rab -- I think Roy Thomas might've softened him, b...Rab -- I think Roy Thomas might've softened him, but I could be wrong.

It was the 70s, no one thought of stuff like that yet. In this particular issue (<I>All Star Comics 64</I>) the editor seems to have been sleeping, but that's an entire other post.<BR/><BR/>It's a fair assumption that her bleeding heart cousin Superman fished the jerk out once he was finished with the twelves knights who attacked him (Power Girl was one of five JSA members who realized how one-sided that fight was, so they just sat back to enjoy the show).Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1146448013414446692006-04-30T21:46:00.000-04:002006-04-30T21:46:00.000-04:00Those Power Girl panels are choice.
