Danger in the Wilderness

Dr. Muttonchops has just posted an excellent new Superwoman story.

My only complaint about his previous story was that Superwoman didn't go into action until about 2/3 of the way through. Here, we get lots of action, spread across the entire story, along with the humor and period flavor that we've come to expect. (The screaming headlines and fast-talking radio announcers are nice homages to the Fleischer cartoons.) Plus the introduction of a classic villain.

Recommended for your weekend reading enjoyment.

That was a fun story. Superwoman Vs. A Bear!

Yeah, that was pretty awesome, but the scene in the tavern was my favorite.

If Lfan wants to revive the 1000-word story workshop, a good subject might be "A superwoman walks into a bar ..."

Superwomen + alcohol = fun times for all.

Thanks, guys! I'm glad that you liked it!

Sorry that I disappointed you with the last one, Argo, but I'm glad that I satisfied you with this one! This story would've been nothing without your great suggestions! I should tell you that in the one or two stories I have planned down the road, Superwoman is herself for most of the tale.

DietSnapple: I'm glad that you liked that bear fight scene! A commissioned illustration of it is in the works!

I loved this one!

Thanks, Yara! I appreciate it!

Really, liked this one. I've been enjoying the more classic tones of the various stories, except for the last one which I think deviated from that a little, with Luthor's escape.

Also the illustration with the arctic monster needs a story

Well, I just got tired of him getting thrown in jail, and I ran out of creative ways to do it.

That drawing was based on an actual Superman. I did do a story where I repeated the plot and I don't care to do another.

I enjoyed this story. So many opportunities for Superwoman to do her thing. And I liked the bear battle (bear exit stage left, pursued by Superwoman).

I do wonder when, if ever, the villains will realise that they can't hurt Superwoman. It would be less fun if they did, though.

Thanks for the story.

Thanks, JKIJ! I really appreciate it!

Yeah, it would make them less fun if that were the case.

You're very welcome.

Good storie but, what a pity!
I'm sorry for not understanding the subtleties of the English language ...

Yes, this is one of those times when a little "suspension of disbelief" is necessary for the sake of a good story.

Realistically, the moment Superwoman entered the bar, the crooks would have put up their hands and said "Just tell us what you want."

But where's the fun in that?

During the Silver Age, crooks were always shooting at Superman, even though they knew he was bullet-proof -- just for the hell of it, I guess.

I remember a story where Superboy learned that some gangsters were planning to rob a Smallville bank. Since he had some other mission to perform, he asked a random teenager to put on a Superboy costume (and a rubber mask) and just stand in front of the bank to scare the robbers off. "You'll be perfectly safe," he assures the kid. "Those crooks won't shoot at you because they know that Superboy is invulnerable!"

(Strangely, Superboy was NOT named in a wrongful death lawsuit!)

Here's TGK's glorious illustration that I commissioned for the story.

No prob!

The picture looks great. As for how tough Louis looks, I think that given the circumstances he looks about right. I'm pretty sure that I'd look less than my best when I'm confronted by a bear that looks to be at least three times my size,

Thanks, guys! I agree with you, Anon, that I'm not exactly crazy about how he draws guys, but, I agree with JKIJ that it's acceptable.

So I was trying to give a "+" on the Karma for you DrMuttonchops - but I miss clicked and hit the "minus" - now I have to wait six-twelve hours to fix it - sorry and no offense meant!

Love the stories and the pictures by TGK - I think he did a great job on the Bear.

None taken, Random. I didn't even notice. Darn those wait times!!

Yeah, he's something, all right.
