BFK FTW – Poor Etta

During Comic Con one afternoon I stumbled across a vendor who had lots of Silver Age Marvel and DC reader copies. One of the beat up gems I found is a copy of Wonder Woman #156 (August 1965). What makes this story especially campy is that Robert Khaniger, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito did it in a style intended to emulate Wonder Woman’s creators William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter. Unfortunately, the  1960s creators didn’t or couldn’t tap into their predecessors’ sensiblities. A little research implied that Khanigar didn’t care for Etta Candy’s character which comes through in this one panel from the story titled “The Brain Pirate of the Inner World”.

Anyone know the names of the other Holliday Girls, especially this blonde? What a bitch!

    The blond is a total bitch. What’s the matter with occasionally gorging ourselves? You go, Etta!

    Totally agree with you, Robert. She had another bitchy line too. Maybe I should post that.

    From this period of stories, the other Holliday Girls were Lita Little, Thelma Tall, Tina Toy, and I’m not sure who the blonde bitch is.
