BLACK ANGEL / BLACK SQUAW "ScarFace" Part 2

...she was away from home, on assignment for Al Capone!
But two Ku Klux Klansmen found her black airplane, which knocked a Klan aircraft which had attacked her out of the sky, killing the crew!
And they found a group of local kids whom Bessie had asked to keep an eye on her plane.
The two gunmen were about to "rub out" the young witnesses to the sabotage they planned to do.
Meanwhile, unaware of the danger the children are in..
But, what about the kids and the Klansmen?


While the kids enjoy the spoils of their victory, we flashback to when Bessie was younger...

And, on that foreboding note, we return to the present!
That plane's definitely not on a mail run, unless it's delivering .45 caliber death!

BLACK ANGEL / BLACK SQUAW "ScarFace" Part 1

Note: This is a symbolic cover showing late 1920s African American/Native American aviatrix Bessie Coleman with African-American soldiers in 1915-1917 World War I France.
The reason will be apparent after you read this opening chapter...
Now that you've seen one of the elements that inspired Bessie, we return to the present, where the now-adult aviatrix, while on business for her employer, Al Capone, has allowed a group of local kids to keep an eye on her personal aircraft while she's gone.
However, a pair of Ku Klux Klan goons have been tipped off to the location of the black plane that had a dogfight against one of the Klan's aircraft...and won!
You'll have to wait until next week to see the result of the gunfire.
Flashback to a young Bessie and her now-deceased father...
Before tha answer is revealed...reality intrudes!

Halloween Heroines WONDER WOMAN "Morgana the Witch" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Wonder Woman, currently powerless, and living in Man's World as Diana Prince, fashionable Greenwich Village fashion boutique owner, attempts to aid her neighbors with a unique problem!
The boyfriend of one of the neighbors has been turned into a frog...specifically, a talking frog!
Considering her history of dealing with mystical menaces, Diana, even without her enhanced Amazon abilities, has no intention of allowing this to continue...
Yeah, it's the old "kiss the frog and he turns into a (nerdy) prince" trope!
We learn in this Mike Sekowsky-scripted/penciled and Dick Giordano-inked tale from DC's Wonder Woman #186 (1970) that not only is I-Ching a martial arts master, he's also a mystic arts master!
Morgana would reappear, but not in the pages of Wonder Woman!
Several months later, Supergirl (also written and penciled by Sekowsky) would run into a magician named Zond who, to put it politely, whups her real good!
(In pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths days, Kryptonians like Supergirl and Superman were vulnerable to only two things...Kryptonite and magic!)
The Girl of Steel goes to Diana Prince for two reasons:
1) to see if the former Amazon Princess can help her stop Zond.
2) to get a new outfit, since her costume was shredded during the battle!
Diana provides Supergirl with a "mod" costume (which becomes her primary garb for several years) and summons Morgana to help them against Zond, who, as it turns out, Morgana has a grudge against!
You can read that story, which we presented several Halloweens ago HERE and HERE!
