1. Fashion in Action
What’s better than a comic featuring fashionable ladies kicking ass in the 1980s? A comic featuring fashionable ladies kicking ass set in the 2080s! This futuristic blast from the past is a restoration and reprint of a lost comic series by John K Snyder III.
This comic starred a high-priced, and stylishly dressed, all-female protection agency and was set in the far future. It was an intriguing breath of fresh air that was a prime example of the best in 1980s independent comic storytelling! Frances Knight and her squad are “the world’s highest priced and best dressed celebrity protection agency.” They guard the world’s rich and beautiful and make their base in the refurbished Statue of Liberty.The project is being produced by Hope Nicholson, who edited a previous anthology that I loved, The Secret Loves of Geek Girls. The Kickstarter page is worth checking out if you’re wondering how comics are restored. The before-and-after photos from print to digital are really fascinating. Recommended pledge: $10 gets you the ebook, but fashion lovers might want to splurge on the $25 hardcover–since this might be your only chance to own the reprint.
