SATURDAY MORNING SUPER-HEROES: A TIP OF THE HAT TO YVONNE CRAIG


Ross Piersall has done it again with a TV-based comic book cover with two heroes who were never destined to meet......


And it looks to have been created in record time - it showed up on August 20th in his blog "Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues", just two days after the sad passing of Yvonne Craig, Toobworld's Batgirl.

O'BSERVATIONS:
The pilot episode for 'The Greatest American Hero' debuted in March of 1981.  Batgirl was seen on our television sets beginning in September of 1967, but there really isn't any timeline discrepancy in this cover.  Fourteen years isn't that long a time to have passed and I think the pert and loverly Barbara Gordon could still have looked as young in 1981 as she did back in 1967.  And the fact that she was using a long-tressed red-haired wig would have helped with any illusion needed.

Good night and may God bless Yvonne Craig......
