Halloween Heroines ARROW COMICS "Headless Horseman Rides Again"

We've Witnessed the First Adventure of The Headless HorseMAN...

...now read the second (and final) tale of the transvestite crimefighter of the Plains!

Amazing how dense the Sheriff is, eh?

I'm really surprised no B-movie producer or early TV series executive thought of using this concept!
It's relatively low-budget and would've made for an attention-getting gimmick!
Ah, well...
Though this never-reprinted appearance in Centaur's The Arrow Comics #2 (1940) was her last appearance, it wasn't Headless Horseman creator Martin Filchock's last comics work.
In fact, he was just beginning!
When he died in 2012, at the age of 100, he was considered "America's oldest working cartoonist" with credits ranging from comic books to risque mens' magazine to The American Legion Magazine to the Journal of the American Medical Association!

Next Week:
There's Magic in the Air!
But Is It a SuperHeroine...or SuperVillainess?

Halloween Heroines AMAZING MYSTERY FUNNIES "Headless Horseman"

Why is a character called "Headless Horseman" featured in a blog about heroines?

Yes, there is a logical explanation, so bear with us!

You knew it all along, didn't you?

This character, introduced in this never-reprinted tale from Centaur's Amazing Mystery Funnies #19 (1940) was one of several transvestite heroes/heroines who appeared that year!
There was also the first Cat-Man, who disguised himself as a little old cat lady as shown HERE!
Madam Fatal, who ran for 22 issues of Quality's Crack Comics used a similar gimmick, minus the felines!
Sadly, both The Headless Horseman and Cat-Man I made only 2 appearances each before disappearing into oblivion!
You'll see the Horseman's other (also never-reprinted) adventure here on Thursday!
