YANKEE GIRL "Your Karma Ran Over My Dogma"

Here's a story created in the Golden Age, but published in the Silver Age...
Art by Ross Andru & Mike Esposito
...featuring a character who appeared in only one other story, as shown HERE!
This tale from IW Comics' Danger #16 (1964), illustrated by Ralph Mayo, was part of the unpublished inventory purchased from the defunct Chesler Publishing company.
It was probably intended for the never-published Dynamic Comics #26-29.
(The series ran from #1-25, then #30!)
No origin story was ever done by the strip's creators, but other writers/artists continued with new tales from the 1990s to the present, including an origin.
TRIVIA:
The cover for Danger was done by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, who were illustrating Wonder Woman for DC at the time!
There was a previous Yankee Girl from Chester, but she was a spy, not a costumed heroine.

Be here next week, when we present another tale of classic comic grrl power!
