TERRIFIC TEAM-UP IMAGE(S): ANGIE BOWIE/BEN CARRUTHERS (BLACK WIDOW/DAREDEVIL: THE SERIES THAT NEVER WAS)


In 1975, David Bowie's spouse, Angie (aka Jipp Jones), obtained the rights from Stan Lee/Marvel to produce a television series featuring the Black Widow and Daredevil. The Man Without Fear was to be played by Ben Carruthers of "The Dirty Dozen", while she tackled the ravishing, Russian agent.


Of course, the show never came to be, but Terry O'Neill's test photos distinguish this one from other alleged, television prospects, like Mike Henry's Batman and Richard Egan's Sub-mariner series, which may or may not have been in a veritable pipeline. (As an interesting side note, Ms. Bowie auditioned for Wonder Woman in '74: a role that ultimately went to Lynda Carter.)
