I think you can tell from Brian Bolland's image gallery that I love Zatanna's fishnet stockings. It's one of the sexiest costumes ever made. It's not even a real superhero costume, just a stage outfit. I hated the "superhero" costume that someone designed for Zatanna's JLA stint in the 70s. I always thought her original costume was a classic and could never be improved in any way. Grant Morrision proves me wrong with this new outfit in Zatanna #4. Click on the image to expand. Great design. The fishnets cover her upper body, leaving her legs exposed. The story is really good, too, even though I only understand about two thirds of it. Are those the agents from the Matrix at the end? If you remember Zatanna's father, you will really want to read this one. Nuff said.

Yeesss! My favorite futuristic Indian squaw tracker is back in the 31st century...
"It's the Legion of Super-Heroes you thought you'd never see, as the greatest heroes of the 31st century become the greatest heroes of the Multiverse!" Dawnstar, Tyroc, and Blok are back in issue 15, hoohah! I missed Dawnstar. I thank Barry Kitson for not changing her classic cleavage-revealing costume. Now you might be asking, who is this? She looks like Pocahontas in the future!
Dawnstar is a mutant, born with wings that allow her to fly through outer space. She doesn't need a spacesuit either, which convenient for you lonely and horny fanboys. Dawnstar can track anything with pinpoint accuracy through light years of space. Whoever dreamed this character up was smokin weed and listening to the Age of Aquarius on their 8-track tape. Either that or they saw A Man Called Horse too many times.
You could tell from this page that writer Paul Levitz had some doubts about the character: "I'm supposed to have earned my Legion membership with my tracking abilities, even if they are of little use when I have no trail to follow, and hyper-warps between me and my quarry!" You might tend to think that she is little use on the ground, but it ain't so...
...here Dawnstar is forced into a little catfight over a man. Her wings had been clipped and just freshly regrown, so she's *grounded*. That little redhead doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell.
Dawnstar's like no other chick in the DC Universe. Look how sexy she is, avoiding those sun flares. Pretty smart, too, tracking down Timber Wolf in LSH v1 289 before he can complete a pass at Saturn Girl.
I do like this nice drawing that Mike Grell did for a fan. You cannot improve on that costume. That body is like no other...full figured...kind of like JLo in outer space. Nuff said.

Who doesn’t love a babe running around the jungle in a thong? I do, soldier, and Marvel’s pioneer woman was Shanna the She-Devil. Back in the 70s, her outfit was more a unitard, slit down the middle for some cleavage breathing-room. In looking at a bunch of Shanna back issues, I noticed a theme of disturbing images.
She’s holding off a bull, the representation of male sexuality. The Hour of The Bull! That’s what I’m shouting the next time I’m in the mood for love.
Lord Almighty, what she’s doing to that poor alligator, crushing him between her legs. Perhaps she’s working away her tension over the Fear-Bulls!
Now we start with the snake imagery. Slithering snakes wrapping around Shanna’s mid-section and thighs on the cover of Savage Tales #8. She’s having too much fun to notice her future boyfriend, Lord Ka-Zar.
Marvel Feature #57 with a nice cover by Joe Chiodo. That snakes got a wicked gleam in his eye. Notice how I think all these animals must be male? That’s not the worst part…
…the worst part is that this Shanna’s pet snake and they are having a little workout together. Instead of putting in a DVD like “Buns of Steel”, Shanna goes out on the lawn for a wrestling match with her python. It goes on for three pages, enough time for a plot recap.
In conclusion, I would say to you, the jury of comic book peers, to never let Shanna the She-Devil near a Zoo. Nuff said.
