JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Captive Jet"

An indication of just how effective a leader you are...
...is how the team functions when you are incapacitated...or kidnapped!
"Jet-A-Reeno"???
Well, it ain't no "Hawkaaa!" (the Blackhawks' battle cry), but it'll do.
It's good to know they can function without Jet's leadership when necessary.
Script for this tale from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #18 (1968) by Dick Wood, with vastly-improved art by Joe Certa.
We can finally tell which StuntGirls are which!

JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Day of Infamy"

Is one of the Stunt-Girl CounterSpies a traitor?
Jet Dream must discover the truth in only four pages before it tears the team apart...or worse!
Didn't Ting-a-Ling do something similar because her family was threatened several issues ago?
Script for this story from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #16 (1968) by Dick Wood (who also wrote the earlier tale so he should have remembered), art by Joe Certa.
(To be fair, Ting wasn't a member of the StuntGirls at that point...nit-pick, nit-pick...)

JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Splash-Down to Death"

Usually we see Jet in action solo or with the entire team...
...but here we get to see her kicking evildoer butt with the newest member of the team at her side.
Script for this short, but effective, tale from Man from U.N.C.L.E. #14 (1967) by Dick Wood, with art by Joe Certa.
The one problem I had with the story is that Certa has difficulty visually-differentiating Jet and Ting, who look very similar (almost generic) in most panels!
Mike Sekowsky was able to make their faces different enough in Ting's intro tale (as seen HERE) to make it easy, even in group shots, to see who was who.

JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Powder-Puff Derby Caper"

Jet Dream meets up with her evil counterpart...
...and can someone tell me why there's always an evil counterpart to a hero/heroine?
This one even has her own team of female assassins...
Raven Red will return!
(And, she's the only villain in this series to do so!)
Script for this tale from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #12 by Dick Wood, art by Joe Certa as he assumes his position as the permanent artist on Jet Dream, except the very next issue, featuring the return of Mike Sekowsky, which we already presented on our "sister" blog True Love Comics Tales™!

JET DREAM & HER STUNT-GIRL COUNTERSPIES "Ting-a-Ling--Enemy Agent!"

Our fave femme fatales are on the beach...
...unfortunately, not in bikinis!
(Aren't those jumpsuits really warm?)
It's too bad these stories were limited to 4 pages at a time, posing a real challenge for writer Dick Wood.
This tale from Gold Key's Man from U.N.C.L.E. #10 (1966) would've benefited from another 2-4 pages of kick-assery in the inimitable penciling style of Mike Sekowsky, who, sadly, did only one more Jet Dream tale (Which we present today on our "sister" blog, True Love Comics Tales™).
For the record, Mike Peppe provided the inking!
Joe Certa illustrated most of the remaining stories, including the one-shot full-length comic, with Jack Sparling contributing our next Jet Dream tale, which you'll see tomorrow at...
