FemForce #182

If a mad scientist has managed to synthesize Dr. Carol Heisler’s Garganta Formula, what can possibly keep him from taking over the world using an army of giants? If it doesn’t WORK quite right, that’s how. See it all unfold in an offbeat sort of a FEMFORCE team lead story in FF #182, “The Taming Of The Shrew”, Part One; written by Eric( Rowena The Gentle Giantess) Lindberg, with art by Javier Lugo and Chris Dreier. Then NIGHTVEIL must venture into an eerie nether realm to stalemate an old enemy emboldended by her long absence from Earth in “Knightveil”, written by Mark Holmes, with art by Dave Matsuoka. Next, Bossman Bill Black is back with the first half of a way-out and woolly retro-story starring MISS VICTORY set in the 1950’s- “The Fiendish Plot Of Dr. Noah Khan Do!” Bill does script and layouts ( with Dan Gorman and Jeff Austin executing finished art) on this tale of Cold War intrigue and super-powered dopplegangers, to be concluded in FF #183. Dynamic creator Rock Baker is back writing and drawing a feature-length episode of his iconic creation, DINOSAUR GIRL, in a never-previously-told tale of her later (post-growing-powers) carrer called “Return”, guest-starring the enigmatic operative known as The DISCIPLE. Awesome ink finishes on this gripping saga provided by Jeff Austin. Then, the surprise hit of FF #181, the classic action heroine from yesteryear, NYOKA The JUNGLE GIRL is back in a previously-unpublished cliffhanger (guest-starring onetime FF member The BLOND BOMBER )originally written and drawn years ago, “Sting Of The Hooded Serpent”; script by Bill Black, pencils by Larry Nadolsky, and inks by Jeff Austin. If reader reaction warrants it, we may continue the serial in upcoming issues. Then, a special short FF bonus feature, a vampire tale titled “Stake Out”, originally seen in a long out-of-print AC Deep Dimesion horror book. Written by Bill Black, with pencils by Bill and Chris(Ant-Man) Allen and inks by Mark Heike. Finally, STARSDUST fights solo in “A Matter Of Matter”, written by Andrew Hawnt, with pencils by exciting newcomer Florentino Cuevas II and inks by Francesco Savi. Stardust must find a way to control a sample of living material from outer space run amuck without destroying it. All totalled, it’s another 80 pages of “good girl” art action and adventure, in sparkling black and white inside a full-color Will Meugniot cover.
