Halloween Heroines LADY LIBERATORS "Come On In...the Revolution's Fine!" Part 1

The very first time the Rutland Halloween Parade (which features comic book characters) appeared in comics...
...was this tale, which didn't even mention the parade itself on the cover...or the fact it takes place on Halloween!
Keep in mind this was 1970, and the Women's Liberation movement was on the rise!
Actually, this sort of lab accident is a lot more common in comics than in real life.
And unlike in real life, in comics it usually results in this...
(Take everything the Valkyrie says with a grain of salt...)
Real-life Parade organizer and comics uber-fan Tom Fagan usually dressed up as Batman for the parade, but since this isn't a DC comic, they put him in the garb of Marvel's "evil Batman", NightHawk of the Squadron Sinister (itself an evil version of the Justice League)!
If you're too young to understand the reference to "Mrs Peel" who was part of the other Avengers, read HERE.
She's a heroine we'll have to do a post or two on in the future!
One other thing, the big guy is not Henry Pym, The Wasp's husband and the original Ant-Man/Giant-Man/Goliath/YellowJacket (don't ask) or Scott Lang/Ant-Man II, but Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, who gave up archery for awhile to become Goliath II.
He went back to being Hawkeye a year later.
Things aren't going too well for the superheroes!
So where are the superHEROINES?
Be here
as they make their decidedly-dramatic entrance!
