Black and White Sunday with Mister Miracle

You probably expected something else since it has only been a bit over a month since I did my last post about Jack Kirby´s FANTASTIC FOUR but once again things beyond my control have prompted me to write this.


What I should be doing is get everything ready for our trip to the 2018 ComicCon in Berlin because as usual I didn´t get to do anything I planned to do like business cards, prints or posters. Somehow I just can´t get over my artist´s block. I mean, drawing comics is what I want to do and now that I finally have the chance to do it I just can´t get anything on paper.

Okay, that´s not true. I did a few good drawings this week and worked on a few pages but the next issue is not going to be finished in time for the convention anyway. Which is why I wanted to work on more stuff to sell at our booth. I guess I just will have to wing it as it has become a habit. But you have not come here to hear me mope about my artistic inadequacies.

So back to the genesis of this post. If you check out this blog regularly you may have noticed that for the last few days another two cult siren re - posts have been appearing and disappearing again as so many are wont to do when they are not finished. Especially when the birthday of said cult siren - in this case the sensational Demi Moore who has earned herself the number one position in my personal Top Ten Movie Striptease list with her spectacular performance in the aptly named Striptease - is a month away.


Well, one reason why I did the re - post although I should do other things was that I have too much stuff on my laptop for posts I never got around to do. And one such post was a re - post for Demi Moore with a lot of new high quality GIFs I had found since the last time I wrote about her. As usual there were more new GIFs than the browser could handle so I had to split the post into two parts so you will get two bran spanking new posts with Demi Moore next month. And while I was writing the second part - which as of this moment still is not finished - I included a link to my post BIG BARDA : DEATH LIES AND VIDEOTAPES which is all about DC´s creepy sex stories with her. Like the time when Byrne´s Superman starred in a porn movie with her and then claimed he could not remember a thing.


I have linked to that particular post a few times in the past few months so naturally I looked over the post since it has now been more than six years since I wrote it. There were a few links that didn´t work anymore and which had not exactly been safe for work to begin with and the video about Jack Kirby that I had included had been deleted from YouTube. And initially that was all I wanted to fix. I mean, IF I am constantly linking to that post then there should not be stuff in it that does not work. Don´t get me wrong, I am all for keeping it real and with the speed YouTube erases videos I can´t keep up with 981 posts ( this one included ). But for those I constantly include in my links I make exceptions from time to time.

So I erased the links that didn´t work, rewrote that part of the post a bit so that it still makes sense and added a new Jack Kirby video I previously bookmarked. Longtime readers know there is a but coming up. I often get the urge to make things perfect so I wanted to see if I couldn´t find a better picture of actress and singer Lainie Kazan whom I mentioned in the post since Jack Kirby based Big Barda´s physique on her. I DID indeed find new pictures of her but also a few videos on YouTube and since I never wrote much about her except for the post on Big Barda what should have been just one new picture became a lengthy part in the post addendum. 


Now that could have been the end but back in the day when I first wrote the post I was more focused on the let´s say COMIC BABE BATTLE aspect and not so much on the overall comic book related aspect. So the post had a lot of nice pictures with Big Barda and some Jack Kirby artwork but aside from what I found on other blogs not much other comic book pages.


Fast forward a few years and now I have a lot more of Jack Kirby artwork including some original art. So I changed some pictures where I only had some panels from a page for the complete page, I added a few pages where I previously had just mentioned some things but didn´t have any examples to show ( I believe that when you write about comic books it is important to not only tell stuff but also show things, not only because the eye needs rest between long text blocks but also because sometimes you can say things better with one picture than with thousand words ) and I also included original art. And because I had a much more extensive picture archive I included some art from other artists I mentioned in the post. So the post is now completely overhauled with tons of new Jack Kirby pages and I urge all readers - especially my regulars - to check it out.


Which brings us - finally - back to this post. While I have included a lot of new Jack Kirby art in that post I could not use all the new original pages I found since the post´s inception. As somebody who is trying to make comic books I am constantly blown away by the King´s mastery so I decided to put the best pieces into a new post. Even if Vince Coletta´s anniversary is Tomorrow which is what my next Jack Kirby post was initially going to be. But Vince Coletta only inked the first few issues of MISTER MIRACLE - the rest was inked by Mike Royer - and none of those pages are part of this post. Nevertheless I already wrote a lot of Jack Kirby posts where Vince Coletta did the inks so even if I don´t get to make a new one this year it won´t mean the end of the world. Right now it is much more important to me to do this post because like with the new GIFs for Demi Moore what am I saving all this stuff for if not to post it so all my faithful readers can enjoy it ? Speaking of which, I have already taken to much of your time so let´s get to the wonderful Jack Kirby art I have selected. Oh, one more thing : normally I include the colored version of the original art but because the following piece is the unpublished cover for MISTER MIRACLE 7 I am posting the cover that was published.  


There are not that many links for this post but I have to mention that a big part of the splash pages were found on MARS WILL SEND NO MORE and until I can write a new Vince Coletta post newer readers of this blog - or those who somehow missed them - might want to peruse my special THORSDAY posts about issues 171 ( part 1 / part 2 ) and 173 ( part 1 / part 2 ) where I found the german black and white pages of the issues from Williams as well as my THORSDAY post on Vince Coletta´s birthday with a special focus on the horrible re -  coloring of Disney´s re - issuing of TALES OF ASGARD in an omnibus edition that obstructs almost all of Kirby´s art.

SCI FI CULT SEXBOMBS, FRENCH FEMME FATALES AND SIZZLING SISTERS

Strangely enough there are no comic book related birthdays I missed since my last post ( at least none I covered previously ) so the next part is a bit cult siren heavy but I have tried to just include the important ones. There are at least a dozen more I could have mentioned but then the post would get even longer than it is. We start with the birthdays for October the 6th and Olivia Thirlby who turned 32. I have only seen her in Dredd where she did a terrific job portraying everybody´s favorite leather clad blonde DD bombshell with legs up to her chin, the seductive Psi Judge Anderson.


The only negative thing I can say about the movie is that Olivia´s nude sex scene was way too short and filmed too much out of focus. What good are all the high definition cameras, blue rays and giant plasma screens with perfect picture resolution if the picture is all blurry ? This is the worst misuse of digital technology since Disney shrank Lindsay Lohan´s booming teenage boobs in Herbie Fully Loaded. What a waste of time, money and resources not to mention an incredibly horny sexbomb like Olivia Thirlby.


I don´t understand why they didn´t show the scene right and why it was not longer because in my opinion the movie could have only benefit from it. I mean we already got the adult rating and it´s not like we would have done anything different with blow up sex doll Judge Anderson in that situation than what the perverted perp really wanted to do with her.


Of course Psi Judge Anderson and Judge Dredd first appeared in the legendary british comic series 2000 AD and that´s a gap in my comic collection I still have to close. So far I have only read the Judge Dredd comic that DC put out and what was in the Free Comic Book Day issues.



On the same day cult sexbomb Julie DuPage celebrated her 45th birthday who may not be known to american audiences but I first saw her on the french tv show Extreme Limite . The show was called Die Draufgänger in Germany which means The Daredevils so you might say that in some way it is connected to comics even if in title only. I tried to find it on Blue Ray or DVD but there was another show of the same name later on and it´s the only one that you can find. In any case, Julie DuPage doesn´t have super big breasts but boy, did she know how to squeeze her funbags right.


Ah, that´s what I call poetry in motion, guys. Merci beaucoup, Julie !



Julie DuPage also played another character, Lucie on another french soap called SOUS LE SOLEIL ( Under the Sun ) or simply ST. TROPEZ in german with another tv cult sexbomb, Florence Geanty who was perfectly cast as she plays the ex - stripper Marie ( who is called Marion in the german version which made it a bit difficult for me to find infos on her ) who the ex - cop of the series tries to reform. It´s not hard to see why and he even ends up marrying her but like in all soaps it has to end in tragedy.


Now very often women in soaps don´t look like they could really do the job they have on these shows - like Kyra Sedwick who in real life couldn´t scare a mouse - but Florence Geanty really has a porn star body that could have launched her into a very successful career as a striptease super star.


So far I have only bought half a season of ST. TROPEZ - for some reason they have divided all the seasons into two parts - because the other one with the best episodes of Florence Geanty is going for an obscene amount of money at amazon right now for obvious reasons. But I´m not getting any younger and I really don´t know what exactly I am waiting for here.

WHEN IN ROME DO AS ROMANS or ANDERE LANDERS, ANDERE TITTEN

We are staying with actresses who know how to squeeze their big talents and who would have made a fortune working the stripper pole with Judy Landers who together with her sister Audrey Landers was one of the hottest commodities of that 80s and who turned 60 on October the 7th.


Before the Hilton sisters, Mother Nature blessed us with the stunning Landers sisters, and if you were a teen in the 1980s, the only crack you were on was the roughly twelve inches of cleavage shared between Judy Landers and her sister Audrey. They helped keep the boob in " boob tube " for over a decade, with appearances on nearly every hit tv show requiring a dyed - in - the - scalp blonde with the breast - busting bikini to match.

WHEN IN ROME DO AS ROMANS II : AUDREY LANDERS, JUDY`S TITTEN

The 80s gave us a lot of the Landers sisters, mostly on the small screen, where they were often fashioned in as little clothing as possible and even less dialogue. It's hard to imagine though, or it's hard when you imagine, just how famous older sister Audrey Landers became playing the perennial bubbly blonde for our perpetually perky peckers. The sexbombs dazzled us with their own brand of twin magic long before the Bellas arrived on the scene and I must confess I prefer their version of it since here we got two sexbombs for the price of one while Bree is just a poor version of Nikki since she got her boobs inflated to pornstarsize. But back to the Landers.


Both of these blow up sex dolls would have been perfect in a Little Annie Fanny movie since with their perfectly shaped breasts, butts that won´t quit, legs almost up to their chins plus their lean and fit tireless bodies they were born for porn and back in the 80s they were the hottest blonde double d combo everybody fantasized about as two thirds of a sandwich.

AUDREY AND JUDY : BORN FOR PORN ? A PLAYBOY SHOOTING BACKFIRES

In real life neither of them were but they clearly were unaware of the general public´s perception of them as the ultimate sex symbols. Proof of that is the fact that they did a very tasteful but non - nude ( and non - paying, so thanks for that ) PLAYBOY pictorial for publicity reasons only.

 
They thought it would help the direction of their career and that the roles they would be offered would change from cheerleaders to more mature roles. Of course the incredibly sexy pictures had just the opposite effect since a lot of people had not actually seen the pictorial and just assumed they had done nudity and so all of the roles they were offered had nudity. 


Like I said, for two such incredible sexbombs it´s astounding that they managed to life a life without sex scandals and they are both married and have two kids, Audrey has twin sons and Judy has two daughters. There have been a few attempts to do a reality show with the sisters but their everyday life turned out to be too boring for the networks and since they refused to spice it up to get more viewers nothing ever came out of it.

There was more about the Landers sisters in a recent post but because that part got longer and longer I gave them their own cult siren entry .



NO TOREABA PERO IVONNE´S CUERPAZO CAUSO MUCHAS CORRIDAS

Going on, sadly our next candidate - spanish 34D sexbomb Ivonne Reyes - who celebrated her 51st birthday on October the 8th also never appeared in any erotic or adult movies although she surely has the milkshakes for it.


Originally I wanted to post the video from which the GIF above was made but then I found another that shows why Ivonne is mas bueno que el pan.



One of her first gigs was co - hosting the game show El Gran Juego De La Oca and I even found a complete episode on YouTube. This was one of those game show that went on for a few hours and I remember that my parents put it on while we were having lunch ( which in Spain can take a few hours ) or while they were preparing the meal. It is a fun show to watch but I mostly watched it for such hot sexbombs like Ivonne Reyes, Ana Obregon or Marlene Mourreau who was on the show quite often.



KARYN PARSONS AND TATYANA ALI : THE FRESH TITS OF BEL - AIR

Speaking of women with a body made for erotic movies, Karyn Parsons celebrated her 52nd birthday and she is most famous for playing Hilary Banks, the simple minded sexbomb on The Fresh Prince Of Bel - Air.


Of course a big part of that show´s success and continued appeal around the world ( there are probably only a few people on the face of the planet who can´t recite the lyrics to the title song in their sleep ) is Tatyana Ali who grew from a cute little girl into an incredible sexbomb over the course of that series and who got to show her musical skills.


Much to the chagrin of the show´s producers she really bOObed out in later movie appearances like The Clown at Midnight or Fall Into Darkness .


During the last few months I have posted my fair share of videos with Tatyana Ali but for some reason I always held onto this one. Maybe my subconsciousness knew Karyn Parson´s birthday was coming up soon.



We´re staying with hit comedies as Paul Hogan turned 79. He´s best known for the Crocodile Dundee movies of which the first one is still the best - not only because of Paul Hogan´s sexy ex - wife Linda Kozlowski´s mindblowing bathing suit and her exposed buttocks. I wrote a post with more GIFs on her birthday which I reposted at the beginning of 2016 .


MAMMARIAN GLANDINATOR or DIAMONDS ARE A GUY´S BREAST FRIEND !

Today´s celebrity roll call starts with Helen O´Reilly who celebrates her 55th birthday and is best known as Panther on American Gladiators. I don´t know if I was still watching the show when she came on because I only watched as long as they had real life Power Girl Erika Andersch a.k.a. Diamond, the blonde DD sexbomb of german descent with the killer body.


Full bodied Erika Andersch was the first readers request in my Search For Power Girl series on my old boob blog and one reason why she was so popular with the male viewers are her XXL - sized, round ... crazy eyes.


Another big crowd pleaser were her warm up exercises which always involved her breasts in a big way. Thankfully the camera men were not as catholic as in prude Germany and so we got to see plenty of mega hot bouncing action. I´m sure she shot an entire generation of teenagers through puberty prematurely with her x - rated cleavage antics alone.


With her overdeveloped chest which she displayed freely thanks to her tight uniform´s generous cleavage Diamond would have been perfect as Power Girl and she oozed more sex appeal doing something as simple as climbing up a ladder than other women have being completely naked.


Daimn, the best part of the show was when she was in Hang Tough where you could see every inch of her gloriously sculpted hardbody that could easily have tripled the print run of any sleazy adult jerk off magazine of that time. She always did it so effortlessly and gracefully and I bet she could have given Spider - Man a few pointers about web - swinging.


There is not a man on the western hemisphere whose loins were not afire and growing rapily when watching Diamond climb all over her opponent while wishing she would rub her body all over him - only to be rudely interrupted when she finally managed to bring the contestant down.


Yes, just when you had reached the point where you were hard enough to cut diamonds ( I may be permitted a small play of words here ) it was all over and with a bit of luck you had managed to record it with your vcr.
 

There are thankfully more videos from American Gladiators then when I first wrote about Erika Andersch on this blog ( it seems I´m not the only one who has fond memories of that show and Diamond ) so that I still have a few left for the next I mention the show. And for those of you who still have not caught on, the show has been renamed and is currently very successful as America Ninja Warriors although I have no idea why ninja warriors are suddenly more american than gladiators. I guess it sells better.

In any case I actually found a complete episode featuring Helen O´Reilly.



Today´s Dearly Depated section starts with Bob Oksner, a name most new comic readers are probably not familiar with especially since most of them are not familiar with the Bronze Age Superman at all. And I have to admit that a few years ago I wouldn´t have known where to place him either.

BOB`S MY UNCLE : MUSCULAR SUPERMAN AND HOT PANTS SUPERGIRL

But through the research for my posts on Curt Swan and Jose Luis Garcia Lopez I know that he did a lot of work for the Superman titles and while I may not have been as familiar with his name I was very familiar with his artwork since he did a lot of iconic covers for Ehapa´s german editions.


He drew some covers which I thought were drawn by Curt Swan, he inked a lot of stories drawn by Curt Swan - some of which I remember from Ehapa´s Superman Superband or Superman Taschenbuch - he drew some covers which I thought were drawn by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez and he also inked a lot of stuff by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez for the Superman universe.


Speaking of the Man of Tomorrow´s universe, Bob Oksner also contributed to fleshing out the supporting cast around Superman with The Secret Life of Clark Kent, back up stories about Nightwing and Flamebird in Kandor, Superman´s Pal Jimmy Olsen and also Superman´s Girl Friend Lois Lane.


Seeing as Bob Oksner had a knack for drawing the female anatomy it was not long before the powers that be at DC Comics decided to put him to work on the Maid of Steel, first in Adventure Comics and later on the Daring New Adventures of Supergirl. This was the Supergirl I loved, the one with the short short hot pants and the puffy shirt although to be fair I have to mention that she did wear a few other outfits during that time.


He also did work for DC´s best known female character and although he only did interior work for one issue - Wonder Woman 205 where he inked Don Heck - he also did a few covers, some of which became very iconic.


Apropos iconic, during Bob Oksner´s tenure at DC they had acquired the rights to the Captain Marvel family so he drew adventures of the Big Red Cheese since he had already worked on what DC saw as the original hero Shazam was based on. At least that is what they claimed in the lawsuit that ultimately got Fawcett Comics selling the rights to Captain Marvel. 


As it couldn´t be any other way Bob took Mary Marvel under his wing in a few back up stories and Billy Batson´s twin sister never looked so fine.


But Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Mary Marvel are not the only heroines that came to life on the comic book pages thanks to Bob Oksner´s art.

BOB`S MY UNCLE PART 2 : ANGELS AND APES AND MONSTERS, OH MY !

Besides working on a plethora of DC titles from All - Star Comics where he drew the Justice Society of America to Ambush Bug, Son of Ambush Bug, Ghost Patrol and The Atom in Flash Comics, Green Lantern, Mystery In Space, Strange Adventures, Our Army At War, Challengers of the Unknown in Secret Origins, Strange Adventures and Suicide Squad Annual he also drew The Seraph in Super Friends, Batgirl in Detective Comics, Vixen and even Elvira. Although he is best known by Bronze Age comic fans for his sadly short lived series Angel And The Ape and Stanley And His Monster


Now one of the things I like about writing this section is that I always learn new things and while I knew that I would need some time to do the proper research for Bob Oksner´s part in this post ( which is the reason why I have waited so long with writing it - for those readers who visit here regularly and wonder why so far only his name was included ) I had no idea that before turning his attention to super hero comics he had a long history of working on humor comic books with say an emphasis on hot girls as part of the cast or at least the main focus of interest of the male protagonists. He also reused a lot of stuff - which is only legitimate when you are such a prolific artist otherwise you suffer burnout - and often redrew scenes or poses like on this page of Angel and the Ape where this asian bad girl strikes a similar pose to the girl on a page from Dobie Gillis.


Now you might say that while the poses the women strike may look similar it is unavoidable that you draw some women in certain poses when you draw a lot of them. And you are right. But Bob Oksner also reused the idea for this cover from The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis for a cover of Windy and Willy and what is more, the complete story of The Two Astro - Nuts was reused with only a few alterations in regards to the main characters.


Which I am not mentioning to dis Bob Oksner but rather to illustrate the point that back then comic artists used to draw for a living which means they had to draw a lot if they wanted to be able to put food on the table.

BOB`S MY UNCLE PART 3 : YOU OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES, DARLING !

And like the late Wally Wood said : Never draw anything you can copy, never copy anything you can trace, never trace anything you can cut out and pate up. And before you are amazed at my knowledge of vintage humor comic books I want to point out that I learned most of this from the mega long article The Many Loves of Bob Oksner on MY FAVOURITE FUNNIES which goes into much more detail about Bob Oksner´s career.


From his work in the comic strips Miss Cairo Jones, Soozi and I Love Lucy to the romance / humor comic books like Date with Debbi, Girl´s Love Stories, Girls´ Romances, Leave It To Binky, Binky´s Buddies, Miss Beverly Hills Of Hollywood, Miss Melody Lane of Broadway, Romance Trail, Secret Hearts to such tv / movie star comic books like The Adventures of Bob Hope, The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis which then split up into The Adventures of Dean Martin and The Adventures of Jerry Lewis ( in which Jerry Lewis met Superman, Batman, Flash and Wonder Woman ), Pat Boone, Welcome Back Kotter and Sargeant Bilko. Yes, the movie with Steve Martin that everybody knows is actually the adaption of a tv series.


As you can see there is much more to say about Bob Oksner so don´t be surprised to see any follow up posts with his Superman stuff ( although not too soon since I should get back to preparing stuff for our trip to the 2018 Comic Con Berlin ) but for the moment I am going to leave you with an episode of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. I was surprised myself that I not only found a full episode but one with the lovely Yvonne Craig to boot.



The second candidate who is no longer with us is one I was not aware of - or if I heard about it I forgot - namely Harry Anderson who just passed away on the April the 14th this year. And I know that she comes up a lot but it seems like I don´t get around mentioning Markie Post. I mean, I already did let it slide that Judy Landers was not only on an episode of Night Court but also appeared on The Fall Guy. But when I have two celebrity anniversaries that tie in directly to Markie Post I can´t ignore it.


But I will try to make it shorter than usual since I just mentioned her in my last post. Saturday Night Live comedian Harry Anderson is of course best known for playing unorthodox Judge Harold T. Stone on the comedy hit Night Court alongside John Larroquette as lecherous prosecutor Reinhold Fielding Elmore, Richard Moll as bailif Nostradamus " Bull " Shannon but most important one of my all - time tv crushes 80s sexbomb Markie Post.


It was another of my favorite series from the 80s although as usual german television policy kept it from reaching a big audience. Like Northern Exposure it was on after midnight and I don´t know what the translators at that time where smoking when they came up with the german title Harry´s wundersames Strafgericht ( Harry´s woundrous criminal court ).


I guess they went for that option because in Germany there is no such thing as a night court. In Germany court sessions take place during the day and if you have read Kafka´s book The Trial you know that bureaucracy is more important than speedy justice. Here you have to wait for justice until the sun rises. In America the system of night courts was started to battle the overwhelming flood of street crime related cases in the 80s - at least that´s what I think but I couldn´t find any webpages to verify that.

I AM SUFFERING FROM ( MARKIE ) POST TRAUMATIC SEX SYNDROME !

Coming back to Markie Post, she had appearances on tv shows like CHiPs, The Incredible Hulk, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Hart to Hart, Eight is enough, The Greatest America Hero, Simon & Simon, Matt Houston, Love Boat, Cheers, A - Team or Hotel so when you were watching tv in the 80s you were bound to catch her somewhere sooner or later. She was probably best known - outside of Germany - for playing public defender Christine Sullivan in the NBC sitcom series Night Court from 1985 to 1992.


Aside from that she also played bail bonds contractor Terri Michaels on the tv show The Fall Guy ( she replaced previous female bail bonds contractor Samantha Jack played by Jo Ann Pflug ) beginning with the second season.


At the beginning she played a minor role but one of the producers must have realized what a waste it is to have somebody like Markie on the cast without letting her " show what her Mama gave her " like they say Today.


But The Fall Guy didn´t just have 80s Power Girl Markie Post they also put blonde bombshell Heather Thomas in the show right from the beginning.

THERE`S SOMETHING ABOUT HEATHER THOMAS - AND HER BLUE BIKINI

She played stunt body double ( and what a body it was ) Jody and her job was to keep the male viewers hooked by providing eye candy. She was in all episodes except for an episode in the first season. Yes, fan service is not as new as some people might want you to think and Heather Thomas mainly got the part because of her absolutely amazing bikini figure. OMG !


For generations of adolescent young boys the only highlight of the week was the short moment when Heather appeared in her famous blue bikini.


Like most growing teenagers I watched that show religiously but the biggest part of its appeal for me were sexbombs like Heather Thomas and Markie Post who didn´t appear as often in a bikini as I would have liked .

 
Coming back to Heather Thomas, thanks to her absolutely stunning 37 ( ! ) - 23 - 32 measurements and the exposure in The Fall Guy she became a famous pin up model with posters on every hormone driven boy's bedroom wall who even managed to replace Raquel Welch on the number one spot !


Now while Markie got to show her goods in The Fall Guy the producers were much more timid in Night Court. There were a few occasions in which she had a hot outfit but mainly she wore a business suit - even if it could not conceal her best assets. Her absolutely stunning physique was often addressed in the show by guys constantly hitting on her - which was the realistic part. If she were a public defender I bet that all the guys in town would get into all kinds of trouble just to have her defend them. 


But don't despair true believer. There was Christine´s Friend, the 17th episode of the 4th Season, in which Markie showed what she's capable of.

MARKIE POST : HABEAS CORPUS MAMMARIUS MAXIMUS FANTASTICUS !

The plot was that she tried to go against her image by dressing more sexy and of course it didn't work - at least in the show. In real life : DAIMN !!!


Now this was clearly just a cheap plot by the writers to explain why a hot sexbomb like Markie didn't show more skin - especially since she had already done so in The Fall Guy. And it wasn't that she didn't look as hot as before. No, quite the opposite was true. But I didn't mind because at least she showed a cleavage window in that episode to rival Power Girl.


Man, I can just imagine if they had done a Power Girl movie with her back then - ah, the countless missed possibilities of bared bodaciousness.



80s Power Girl Markie Post is probably the best known cult siren on the blog because not only have I done many re - posts of her original post .


I also keep mentioning her in other posts and her original post is in the Top Ten Posts widget that appears on every post. Since I have done so many different versions it is not so tragic that I did not do a re - post last year even though I did the last version of her cult siren entry in 2016 .


And while I can´t give you an episode of Night Court here is a clip from the ninth season in which Markie really fills out a dress. I´m posting this mainly for my german readers because there might only be a few who are old enough to remember this. For some reason there are no german DVDs or Blue Rays of this show so if you want to see it the only chance is to get the original american episodes through amazon or other internet shops.



To make up for the lack of Markie Post bikini appearances here is another bikini contest and this is the fourth one I tried because although the embedding did work on the first three videos you could not watch them outside of YouTube. Just another wrinkle to drive us poor bloggers crazy.



Since I don´t have a specific cartoon video for this post here is an episode of The Freedom Force. The show actually spun out of The Secrets of Isis and member Hercules also appeared in Space Sentinels. Only six episodes were produced but Filmation later spun the idea of a cultural diverse cast into Super Friends where they also had an asian member, called Samurai instead of Super Samurai, an afro - american member, Black Vulcan ( they could not use Black Lightning due to a legal dispute between creator Tony Isabella and DC ), hispanic member El Dorado and native american member Apache Chief who later made his way into comic books as Manitou Raven.


So you could say that The Freedom Force were the prototypes for the new members on Super Friends : The Legendary Super Powers Show.
