Mike Madrid's Divas, Dames, and Daredevils

[CharlieRock]

This is a new graphic novel out recently featuring a review of stories starring Golden Age heroines. The description says it will have sections based on the genre from detectives to sci-fi/fantasy. I'll be picking up a copy soon and look forward to posting a glowing review of my own here.

Until then: here is a rather in-depth article on not only the graphic novel but Golden Age heroines in general.

It's a little long so read it when you have a little bit of time.

Hi Charlie,
Actually, the book's author Mike Madrid, has been in contact with us.  He's made special mention of DCM in his credit page which I'm going to include here as an attachment.

Mike sent us a complementary copy of his hefty tome which we will be using as prize in a future donation drive like we did with Jared's Stardust figure in September.

Here's an online review of this book some might want to read - http://nyjournalofbooks.com/review/divas-dames-and-daredevils-lost-heroines-golden-age-comics

Our thanks to Mike for the nice words and his book.
