During the Golden Age of comics, publishers offered titles
supporting the war effort - presenting fighting men and their
feminine counterparts - babes in arms! Comic books during this
period featured US service-women fighting all of the axis bad guys
and gave several of the most noteworthy women artists of the era
opportunities to create action-packed, adventure-filled, four-color
stories. Now for the first time renowned pop-culture historian
Trina Robbins assembles comic book stories by artists Barbara Hall,
Jill Elgin, Lilly Renee, and Fran Hopper together with insightful
commentary and loads of documentary extras to create the definitive
book chronicling the work of these important Golden Age artists.
This magnificent art book offers page-after-page of good girl
action!

Dutch Peyton has spent all of her fourteen years in the small
farming town of Marston, Virginia, and life is pretty good. It
seems so, at least, until that blazing hot drought-plagued summer
when Dutch's sophisticated and apparently flawless cousin, Norma
arrives. Norma knows all about life, all about love, all about how
to get what she wants--and she's ready to teach Dutch everything
she knows.
But even with Norma's advice, Dutch can't seem to decipher the
feelings of red-haired Ethan Cole. And she feels helpless against
the drought crippling both the tobacco crop and her family's
morale. Dutch's troubles build like summer rain clouds as she
uncovers family secrets that threaten to bring changes as powerful
as the Dixie storm so desparately needed by the parched land.
"Includes an interview with the author."
In the aftermath of a violent incident and near-death experience,
Sarah Lange is plagued by heavenly voices and dogged by a desire to
return “home.” Frightened by her desire to terminate her
existence on earth, she checks into a trauma center in Malibu,
California, and meets Dr. David Sutton, an intellectual, scientist,
reductionist, and someone who believes in nothing beyond his
immediate experience. David’s world is as divorced from mystery
and magic as Sarah’s is alive with and animated by it. Their
sessions open up a dialogue about the separation of worlds—one
easily defined and explained and one unknowable and waiting on the
other side of human experience. Even as his faith in his profession
fades, David struggles to bring his disturbed patient back to the
real world. In a desperate effort to define herself, Sarah
“escapes,” and David must decide how far he is willing to go to
save a patient, and ultimately, himself.
Haunted by visions and voices for most of her life, Sarah Lange
manages to shut them out, until a violent incident and near death
experience shatter her earthly existence. She is plagued by
heavenly voices and dogged by a desire to return "home." Frightened
by her desire to terminate her existence on earth, she checks into
a trauma center in Malibu, California and meets Dr. David Sutton,
an intellectual, a scientist, a reductionist, someone who believes
in nothing beyond his immediate experience. David's world is as
divorced from mystery and magic as Sarah's is alive and animated by
it. Their sessions open up a dialogue about the separation of
worlds-one easily defined and explained and one unknowable and
waiting on some other side of human experience. David, worn down by
a mean spirited and demanding family, has grown disillusioned in
his work as a therapist while Sarah has come to feel liberated by
her impulse to escape all worldly demands. Even as his faith in his
profession leaks away, David struggles to bring his disturbed
patient back into the rules of the real world. The sessions between
the two evolve into an exploration of what it takes to exist in the
world, the courage required to confront life on its own terms, and
the even greater courage it takes to deny the constrictions of
life. In a desperate effort to define herself, Sarah "escapes,"
putting her own life as well as the life of a fellow trauma patient
at risk and David must decide how far he is willing to go to save a
patient and ultimately himself.
