Note: 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.
Note: As a P:R Regular and P:R contributor, Joel Priddy has been a welcome face here on the site. Currently teaching illustration & cartooning at the Memphis College of Art, Priddy has been schooling us for years on his dramatic re-inventions of classic super-heroes.

Wonder WomanNote: Jon Morris and the gang over at DC Fifty-Too have really been belting out some hits, and our own Joel Priddy recently stepped in with his rendition of DC’s heroine Liberty Belle. Eagle-eyed P:R readers will remember Joel did a redesign of Liberty Belle back in the early days of our site. Now all that’s left for Joel to do is draw a Liberty Belle comic (hint, hint!) – Chris A.
