Storytime, and an unpublished story; w Trina Robbins; a Anne Timmons).
[From Dark Horse Comics: Back in the day, Janet Goldman was an honest-to-goodness
flying superhero, the far out Go-Go Girl. But Go-Go Girl eventually hung
up her costumewell, put it away in a dresser drawerand now her
teenage daughter, Lindsay, has inherited Mom's flying powers, donned her
old costume, and become the teenage superheroine sensation Go Girl! Now
she's fighting crime and righting wrongs...with an occasional leg up from
the now semi-retired Go-Go Girl. Pouring the classic charm of comics of
the past through a subtle modernist filter, series creator/writer Trina
Robbins and artist Anne Timmons have crafted an all-ages delight, garnering
critical praise and a coveted Lulu Award. The GoGirl! collection includes
pinups by Barb Rausch, Steve Leiber, Lea Hernandez, Sergio Aragonés,
and others and bonus features, including material never before seen in the
GoGirl! series.] |

[From Dark Horse Comics: Today is like any other day in Grover Cleveland
High's science labany day in the Jurassic Era, that is. Doc, the school

bike, all fine and good until pretty-girl princess Heather cops a ride and
drags herself, Doc, and Lindsay Goldman--a.k.a. teen superhero GoGirl!--back
several million years to the dinosaur-infested jungles of the long-gone
past. If being late for cheerleading practice isn¹t enough of an annoyance,
try ditching a hungry T-Rex! And where did those alien spaceships come from?]

2 Robots Gone Wild (OGN; w Trina Robbins; a Anne Timmons). [From Dark Horse Comics: Two feature-length stories in one volume! Video games can get too realistic, as the flying teenager, GoGirl! discovers in "Prisoners of the Machine," when she and her friends find themselves trapped inside a computer, menaced by giant anime-robots! And in "Double Trouble," GoGirl!'s archenemies create a robot that looks just like her, except that it has the mind of a master criminal! How can our heroine convince the cops that she didn't rob that bank, when everyone saw her do it? Plus, GoGirl!'s sidekick, Haseena, tired of always being rescued by the flying teen, takes up sleuthing herself in "Haseena Ross, Girl Detective."] |
