As always I like to keep things together so we have three main stories in this post : The Strange Case Of Mrs. Paraffin, Plaster Of Paris and Silken Floss. All three of them feature very different women, all good examples of the kind of female characters you are going to encounter in THE SPIRIT.
Always deadly and often more capable than our hero they always end up in tragedy be it that they get caught up in a trap of their own devise, can´t escape their surroundings no matter how hard they try or only find out too late that the price to achieve what they wanted was too high. Unlike the women in Today´s SJW infested comicbook industry they are complex characters, often irredeemably evil but most often than not there is still a spark of good in the most hardened women. While others have a darkness at their core that ultimately drives them to destroy everything they have built. Anyway, for Silken Floss I could not find all the pages ( if someone knows where I can find them please let me know in the comment section below ) but therefore I´ve included some pages from the story El Spirito.
I am including the link for the second Artist´s Edition of Will Eisner´s THE SPIRIT from THE ARTIST´S EDIION INDEX here because it includes some of the femme fatales in this post like Plaster of Paris and Silken Floss ( there may be more but the amount of preview pages is limited ) and I am still thinking about if I should get me one of those. One part of my brain tells me to wait for one I really want - with artists like Marc Silvestri, George Perez, John Buscema or John Romita Jr. - but the other part reminds me that I already waited too long on the editions of Mike Zeck, Gene Colan´s TOMB OF DRACULA or Jack Kirby´s FANTASTIC FOUR. Also you never know how long you will be on this earth. Anyway, that´s the topic for a future post while we have to get to the next batch of celebrity birthdays. Seeing as I can´t wrap up all of the remaining ones in this post we are adding one more Will Eisner post and as some of you might have already guessed it will be the second part of my selection of great splash pages from THE SPIRIT .
Jessica Biel celebrated her 37th birthday on March the 3rd and I hope the german press has figured out who she is by now. Because I remember that when Esquire voted her the Sexiest Woman Alive in 2005 the entire german press was lucid because the title had gone to an total unknown ... at least if you are a reporter in Germany who never goes to see a movie.
Now Jessica has had her ups and downs, the downs being Blade : Trinity ( really, after the first one they just could not get it right ) and the Total Recall remake ( which at least brought new record sales of the original movie and showed that you just can´t make a Schwarzenegger movie without Arnold ) for which she - almost - made up with displaying her goods in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and in Powder Blue.
Although you might want to do yourself a favor and fast forward to the good parts in the last one before you get so depressed you want to kill yourself. Like I said, Jessica has almost made up for her bad decisions, all we need is another movie where she shows her obvious superior stripper skills but this time without the unnecessary drama, thank you very much.
Longtime readers know that one of my pet pevees on this blog is celebrating all the brave actresses who turn insufferable dreck into bearable entertainment by taking their clothes off or at least show what their Mama gave them and who don´t get enough recognition for that .
So I have to mention sexbomb Laura Harring who celebrated her 56th birthday. Longtime readers might remember that the one redeeming quality of Black Scorpion II : Aftershock is her short but memorable role of the major´s secretary, busty Babette as she delivers one of the breast scenes of the movie. If she was my secretary I would pound her 24 / 7.
For those who have never heard of Black Scorpion I have written at length about all of the movies, the tv series and the comicbooks in my post on busty b - queen Joan Severance who finally got a cult siren entry in 2018.
So far I had only mentioned Joan Severance as part of the cast of See No Evil Hear No Evil. The movie is not one of the better Gene Wilder movies, but it is still shown on tv and I guess it is mostly for the scene where Joan is topless in the shower. And I´m not saying naked because while Joan technically is naked in the scene we never get to see her lower body.
This MILF is a credit to model turned actresses everywhere. Why waste her statuesque, black - haired, high - assed beauty on getting married and raising kids somewhere back in your native Texas ? When her big acting break on network sensation Wiseguy failed to fire up an a - list career, the xxx - tra stacked sexpot promptly took her place at the head of the Bs.
Joan Severance graced the waves of late night programming with a body that just beckoned for some softcore action and made a staple of herself on premium cable movie channels beginning a creative partnership on Showtime's skintillating Red Shoe Diaries, where she was breast - baring muse to mentor Zalman King. King is the crown prince of skinsational erotic thrillers, and his expertise is epitomized in Lake Consequence .
Because you can´t do a post about Joan Severance without mentioning her best softcore movie Lake Consequence in which she plays a housewife whose sexual appetite gets ignited when she falls asleep in a worker´s trailer and embarks on a journey to debauchery and lots of wild sex.
Joan shined in an outdoor sex scene. She shined in an indoor sex scene. She shined wetly in a shower stall lesbo sex scene. Of course the real sexbomb of the movie is needy May Karasun who plays a living sex doll.
If she doesn´t look like a blow up doll come to life I don´t know. You want to push her against the wall and give it to her till your dick gives out.
Now I´m not so sure about Illicit Behaviour . It´s a crime story but it has been some time since I saw it and I couldn´t find reliable info on the web.
What is sure is that Jack Scalia plays her husband, a cop suspended for use of excessive force who takes his frustration out on her ( in the bedroom if he has half a brain ). Now either she turns to two other cops for help who then start slam - banging her brains out or she tricks her husband into killing her brother and then dicktames a guy from internal affairs to kill her husband. The thing with her brother is that when they were teenagers he started using his sister as his private blow up sex doll and she can´t get him to stop. So every time he´s in town he hammers Joan like a cheap prostitute just for old times sake - if she wants it or not. Naturally her hubby´s not too thrilled that her brother is wearing out his favorite sextoy and kills him. I think she then tries to get the insurance money for her husband ( if it´s the movie where she gets double teamed by the cops she asked for help ) or the insurance money and the inheritance.
Of course I have to mention that Joan starred in two non comic related movies as a superheroine namely in Black Scorpion ( 1995 ) and Black Scorpion II : Aftershock ( 1997 ) two tv productions that showed why superheroes who are not based on actual comicbooks suck in most cases.
Back to Black Scorpion, both movies still were successful enough - after running on Showtime they naturally made more money in video sales - that they turned it into a tv series. Roger Corman produced the show and used the same plot on all episodes : some costumed bad guy wants to destroy Angel City until Black Scorpion stops him. There are between one and three hot pursuits ( always with lots of explosions ) and following the old Andy Sidaris formula all female roles are played by playmates like Patricia Ford, nubian sex goddess Traci Banghim , Lisa Boyle ( 17 in the series ), Athena Massey or the always present 90s soft sex legend Shannon Whirry .
Coming back to the Black Scorpion tv series for the fans of comics there are also guest appearances by Adam West, Sam Jones or Lou Ferrigno.
Since Joan Severance was not interested in reprising her role of Black Scorpion Roger Corman tried to get Julie Strain but it seems the tv guys knew all of her naughty movies ( who would have thought ) so the former Miss Kansas Michelle Lintel was cast who didn´t have Julie Strain´s box office pull - or her measurements - but who seems much more sympatico.
Sexbomb Julie Strain was in most erotic movies from that time and she appeared in a lot of Andy Sidaris movies which I usually just skim over but since I try not to repeat myself too much I am writing more about her.
Julie Strain debuted in FIT TO KILL, where she played the evil Blue Steele, then she portrayed bad girl Jewel Panther in ENEMY GOLD and bad girl Black Widow in THE DALLAS CONNECTION. The movie is also known under the title DEADWORKS and features two sexbombs who were in a few of Andy Sidaris´ later movies : Julie Strain and Julie K. Smith a.k.a. Julie & Julie the double rack attack. There are two great scenes ( among others ) in DALLAS CONNECTION : in the first one Julie Strain is tying a guy to a chair and stripping to make him ultrahorny - before killing the poor guy.
And because she wanted a recurring role in DAY OF THE WARRIOR and RETURN TO SAVAGE BEACH Julie Strain became federal agent Willow Black.
And for those that moan about me bringing up Julie Strain in a comicbook blog and think it is only because of her connection to Andy Sidaris movies I want to mention that the 41D Penthouse Pet Of The Year 1993 not only starred in over 100 movies, she was also married to Kevin Eastman who created the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES with Peter Laird and was Editor in Chief of HEAVY METAL. Plus she was the inspiration for the main character in the 2000 animated HEAVY METAL movie sequel F.A.K.K. 2.
Andy Sidaris was probably THE BEST director of action movies for adults and his cast is a WHOS´S WHO of playmates : 40DD Playmate Of The Month November 1984 Roberta Vasquez , hot 34D Page 3 girl turned sex therapist Ava Cadell , 41D Penthouse Pet Of The Year 1993 Julie Strain , Samantha Phillips, 34D Playmate Of The Month May 1994 Shae Marks , 36D Penthouse Pet Of The Month February 1993 Julie K. Smith , 34C Playmate Of The Month September 1993 Carrie Westcott or Dona Speir to name just a few.
And I just wrote a spin - off post with all the usual links to Janet Jones Gretzky and real live Power Girl Leslie Easterbrook who had the most famous scene in Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol in which she emerges from a pool in a wet t - shirt. And while the obligatory Andy Sidaris actresses / playmates / sexbombs like Roberta Vasquez , Ava Cadell , brunette Cynthia Brimhall, Dona Speir , Julie Strain , Shae Marks , Julie K. Smith and Samantha Phillips are mentioned the main part is about blonde brabuster Monique Sluyter and the obligatory plethora of Tutti Frutti girls .
Now usually I just include a short part with them in the posts but this time I did a somewhat longer version so I could include all the new download links I found while writing this post. I just recently included a whole slew of new ones but those are just for compilation and mixes while these new ones are not only for entire episodes - which are always ultra rare - but for german episodes which are even rarer . Some of them even include my favorite Tutti Frutti girl ( whom you can see just below ).
Coming back to Laura Harring ( with whom all of this started, remember ? ) she has also appeared on the tv shows Alien Nation, Blossom, Flipper, The Shield, Silk Stalkings, Baywatch, Baywatch Nights, Mulholland Drive ( hey, everyone can have a stinker in their resume ) with born for blowjob action actress Rena Riffel ( and we will have a long section with her and her co - stars from Showgirls and Undercover Heat Elizabeth Berkley and Athena Massey in our next post ) as well as the Punisher movie from 2004 with Thomas Jane. So she got some real comicbook movie rep as well.
Hope Marie Carlton celebrated her 54th birthday and she became the Playmate Of The Month for July in 1985. She is best known for playing Taryn in the Andy Sidaris movies where she was later replaced by Roberta Vasquez. Who not only was more curvaceous than her but also contrasted nicely with Dona Speir. I don´t know, the whole combination of the busty blonde with a bustier blonde did not work for me as well as the formula of busty blonde and even bustier raven haired latin sex pot. As coincidences would have it Hope Marie Carlton also appeared on Married With Children.
A few years ago I bought the DVD box set of the complete series but I haven´t had the time to watch it yet. But the series is absolute worth it for the female guest stars alone which include Playmate Of The Month in April 1986 Teri Weigel who was on two episodes and a very young Pamela Anderson who was just starting out and who appeared in an episode with Becky Mullen and Becky and Teri both starred in Andy Sidaris movies.
Speaking of women who get wet easily, Hope Marie Carlton also was in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 : The Dream Master and Ghoulies III : Ghoulies Go To College and was one of the finalists in the very first Bikini Open.
I have written more about Hope Marie Carlton with some clips from the Bikini Open series in my FLASH FRIDAY : THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS ! post which weirdly enough features the Mirror Master - who also is the villain in the current season of The Flash although they have put their own spin on it. The post includes more celebrity birthdays from March the 3rd.
Like our second playmate Jacqueline Sheen, who celebrated her 57th birthday and who also was the Playmate Of The Month of July. The buxom blonde from Dallas, Texas has the nickname Action Jackson no doubt because of her sexual appetite and relentless body. And what a body it is.
Not only is it one of the best sculpted in the history of Playboy with it´s perfect 36D - 24 - 34 measurements, she also has those bikini tan lines that drive some men ( me included ) crazy. She was not in Married with Children but she was on an episode of Silk Stalkings, appeared in various Playboy videos and she´s one of the playmates that has been in most Playboy Special Editions with 24 under her belt. There are just so many terrific pictures of her that I had six posts on my old blog to fit them all which made picking just two extremely difficult. Although I had to discard a lot of them right away because you could see something you were not supposed to, you could not see her face or she was wearing sunglasses.
One reason why I am including Jacqueline Sheen in this post ( besides the obvious one ) is that it´s the 30th anniversary of her PLAYBOY pictorial and they just don´t make women like that. No, really, 1990 was a great year for playmates : we got Peggy McIntaggert ( who appeared on BAYWATCH and BEVERLY HILLS COP II ) in January, none other than Pamela Anderson ( and I am not going to list all of her credits ) in February, Deborah Driggs ( who appeared in MARTIAL LAW II : UNDERCOVER, TOTAL EXPOSURE and NIGHT RHYTHMS with Julie Strain ) in March, Tina Bockrath ( who was on the TALES FROM THE CRYPT tv show ) in May, Kerri Kendall in September and Alison Armitage ( who is best known for her role of Catherine " Cat " Avery Pascal on ACAPULCO H. E. A. T. but also appeared on FULL HOUSE, THUNDER IN PARADISE, SEINFELD, SILK STALKINGS, ROBIN HOOD, L. A. HEAT, BLACK SCORPION, JERRY MAGUIRE and DRIVEN ) in October.
And here is Jacqueline Sheen´s appearance on Silk Stalkings. It´s in the second season in the episode titled " Star Signs " which is billed in the video below as episode 22 while according to imdb that´s episode 19.
Jacqueline Sheen also was in the movie Blue Chips together with fellow Playmate Of The Month October 1991, Cheryl Bachmann ( 34DD - 22 - 35 ).
We are skipping the celebrity birthdays from March the 4th since I already covered them in my post about George Perez 3rd issue of LOGAN`S RUN and continue with crime fiction courtesy of Greg Rucka´s Stumptown.
From fiction we make the jump to fact with Today´s feature film The St. Valentine´s Day Massacre by Roger Corman featuring Jason Robards.
Since I mentioned the Punisher here is a clip from 90s Spider - Man cartoon and I have no idea why it is credited as The Punisher : The Animated Movie. Unless this is a recent thing and the people at Disney have cut together stuff from various episodes and are calling it a movie.
Coming back to femme fatales, here is Adina Howard with Freak Like Me and I thought this would be a re - post but while I have indeed written about this afro - american Aphrodite before I posted a different video.
