ParticipantI have just seen Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, lift a fat man who must weigh at least 400 pounds over her head in a scanned version of JUMBO COMICS #114 at a YAHOO! group called FictionHouseFactory.
ParticipantWhoops! Rulah's two alter egoes were Jane Dodge (ZOOT #7, her first appearance [ZOOT was a humour title]), and Joan Grayson (RULAH #20). In RULAH #20, she was depicted as a female aviator who vanished on an around-the-world trip whose fiance found her in the jungle. She rescued him, and in return he left her in the jungle because he realized she had made a home for herself there. She fought greedy people who sought to exploit the jungle's people for their own ends – and usually succeeding. This included several native rulers and even an albino exile with the power to kill people by touch, which left their hair and skin white after he killed them.
ParticipantI just remembered that one of Rulah's alter egos was Joan Mason. Her origin was repeated in RULAH #10(?), in which she was depicted as a millionare who crashed in the jungle during a flight around the world. Among her other talents is the ability to wrestle huge panthers with just her dagger in hand and swing from vines like Tarzan.
ParticipantWould that be the TV show or the JUSTICE UNLIMITED comic book series?
ParticipantI don't recall that commercial. However, I do recall a commercial from that time period where a girl appears dressed as a man and pulls off her masculine clothing to reveal an armless white dress underneath.
ParticipantMore to the point, Dr. Tom Lightner is the super-villain known as Lightmaster, who once took over the body of the Dazzler, another Marvel Comics "babe."
ParticipantTerry and Gisela Head have entries at the IMDB because they appeared in 1971 on a program called "The Ice Dancers." Look for it! The "Artist and the Alien" skit, though, was created especially for the Ice Capades.
ParticipantMadame Strange appeared in Great Comics #1 -3, which came out during World War II. It is mentioned that she has a "secret base" somewhere, from which she operates, in her first story – that is, her debut story – but nothing else was revealed about her in the two stories that I have read so far.
ParticipantI don't believe Madame Strange ever had an origin story; in the two stories I've read that have been put online at MyComics3, she is presented as a figure of mystery, someone with an identity that, as mentioned in her first appearance (now at MyComics3 in the Madame Strange file), is "cloaked in mystery."
ParticipantYou can find the scans at MyComicBooks3, a Yahoo! Group – I made an error when I gave the name in the first post. Here's the URL:
