DIANA THE HUNTRESS "Anthem of Freedom"

Long before Katniss Everdeen notched arrow to bowstring...
...the original archer heroine was making her mark in pop culture during comics' Golden Age...
As we pointed out in Diana's "origin" story HERE, the authors mixed their Greek and Roman pantheons, but did utilize the correct powers and abilities for the gods and goddesses they used!
Though the writer of this story from Charlton's YellowJacket Comics #6 (1944) is unknown, the artist is long-time pulp and comic book illustrator Leo Morey.
There'll be more never-reprinted tales of Diana the Huntress in the future.
Watch for them!

DIANA THE HUNTRESS "Curse of Kashgar"

Like Princess Diana (Wonder Woman), her modern-day namesake...
...the goddess Diana occasionally faced menaces armed with supernatural weaponry that could render her helpless!
As we pointed out in Diana's "origin" story HERE, the authors mixed their Greek and Roman pantheons, but did utilize the correct powers and abilities for the gods and goddesses they used!
Though the writer of this story from Charlton's YellowJacket Comics #4 (1944) is unknown, the artist is long-time pulp and comic book illustrator Leo Morey.
There'll be more never-reprinted tales of Diana the Huntress in the future.

DIANA THE HUNTRESS "Food for Greece"

TV's Hercules: the Legendary Journeys wasn't the first time...
...pop culture tossed anachronisms into classic mythology, as this never-reprinted tale from Charlton's YellowJacket Comics #3 (1944) shows!
Somehow, I don't think the Roman/Greek goddess would actually spout the line "I used to be a Girl Scout!"...
In addition, as we pointed out in Diana's "origin" story HERE, the authors also mixed their Greek and Roman pantheons, but did utilize the correct powers and abilities for the gods and goddesses they used!
Though the writer is unknown, the artist is Leo Morey,
Plus, for the first time, Diana makes the cover of the book...

Here's a close-up of the insert shot...
Is it just me or is the left side of her tunic a little...low?
There'll be more never-reprinted tales of Diana the Huntress in the future.
