SubscribeNote: From the Golden Age of comics comes Joel Priddy‘s revival of the public domain heroine Woman In Red. Originally created in 1940′s Thrilling Comics #2, Woman In Red holds the distinction of being the first female costumed hero ever but fell by the wayside just a few years after her debut. For this redesign, Joel opted to ditch the original’s evening wear attire in favor of “a more practical approach.” Bonus points to Joel for turning the original’s gun into a super-power coming out of the Woman in Red’s extended finger! And riding cap + mask? Excellent!- Chris A.

/ January 19, 2012great redesign, very practical adventuring duds, the .45′s would look great with this design along with double shoulder holsters.

/ January 21, 2012Incredibly distasteful. The original Woman in Red was something of a mysterious ghost, akin to the “Lady in White”. This design skips all the eerie feeling about her and turns her into some knockoff cricket-player. I mean, Knickerbockers, for crying out loud? Where’s the style in that?
