SUPERBABES #16: DESPERATELY SEEKING FEMFORCE

AC's all-color Superbabes #16 presents more Jungle Island action, spearheaded by the dimensional-tumbling Black Phantom in a chapter called "Desperately Seeking Femforce."   

After the gals anticipate the sexy Phantom's entrance into the Femforce fold, She-Cat and Synn face an attacking automaton, as Tara lifts an elephant and Ms. Victory and Paragon (in a special chapter of their own) enjoy a little romance. All in all, our Femforce members sure have lots on their collective plate!

Issue #16's escapades are brought to life by Bobby Ragland, Andrea Modugno, and Mark and Stephanie Heike. This talented crew does an excellent, if not flawless job enlivening each interlocking chapter. 

Be sure to purchase this essential installment at your favorite online source or neighborhood comic-book shop. I got mine at Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Village Commons, Lawrenceville, NJ, an ideal hub to fulfill every superheroic need.

And get set for the next exciting episode in the Superbabes saga. Looks to be a steamy one, too, as She-Cat goes undercover as Tara!

FEMFORCE #183: BEAUTY, BRAWN & HEROICS, STACKED TO THE MIGHTY MAX!!!


Hot Diggity!!! AC Comics has unleashed Femforce #183, granting readers more beauty, brawn and heroics, stacked to the mighty max in one pretty, powerful package!!!


My buddy, Mark Holmes offers three, stimulating stories for this issue, including a new She-Cat sojourn, entitled "Night to Howl", illustrated by Silvano Beltramo, where a wolf-worshiping villainess puts our stealthy heroine to the test. This is accompanied by Holmes' feisty Black Phantom yarn "Hang 'Em High", where our whip-snapping desperado defends a teacher accused of cold-blooded murder, with imagery by Eric van Elslande, inked Jeff Austin. Last but certainly not least, Holmes gives us "The Big Breakthrough, where Yankee Girl battles the diabolical Dr. Yvette Alain in a matter of skewed justice, with artistic assistance from Gianluca Cerritelli, also inked by Austin. (BTW: the diligent Austin supplies most of the inking this time out.)


My dear pal (and legendary pin-up artist), Rock Baker supplies the chilling "The Head of Hitler", starring the marvelous Miss Masque. As told and penciled by the ultra-talented Baker, the story (originally published in Miss Masque Strikes Back #1) captures the essence of those far-out, drive-in/girl-spy romps of the past, though enhanced with a distinct, surreal flavor that'll hold one's attention from beginning to end. This one is tip-top and darn sexy all the way. Baker fans are guaranteed to be in cartoon-cutie heaven.

Issue #183 also contains Andrew Hawnt's nifty, inter-dimensional Nightveil encounter, "Tornado of Souls", brought to life by newcomer, Alessio Mariani. "Tornado" acts as a nifty, thematic companion piece of sorts to Baker's tale, in that it holds an old-school, psychedelic bent that's certain to delight fans of Julian Roffman's 3D exploitation gem, "The Mask". 


For Femforce serial connoisseurs, #183 includes the final phase in Eric Linberg's tasty, She-Cat exploit, "Taming the Shrew", illustrated by Javier Lugo; a new entry in Bill Black's pugnacious, Miss Victory, Cold War adventure, "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Noah Khan Do", drawn by Dan Gorman; Femforce publisher, Mark Heike's extending excursion, "Life in Wartime", starring the gorgeous, undercover RAD, with artwork by Dave Matsuoka; plus jungle siren, Nyoka in another segment of the serpentine thriller, "The New Perials of...", costarring the Blonde Bomber, visually rendered by Larry Nodolsky.

All in all, #183 is one helluva, juicy jaunt!!!

Grab a copy today at your local comic shop or order from any number of reliable, online dealers. Femforce #183 is an undeniable must-have!!!
