Acrobeauts! Was that term coined by Dick Wood, writer of the book? No clue, but i do know that the cover is painted by George Wilson, and interior art was provided by Joe Certa.
When i ran across this comic, years after release, i was surprised i'd never seen or heard of it - it was certainly the sort of thing i would have grabbed if it had crossed my path, based on the cover alone. Inside the front cover gave us a quick introduction to a couple of the crew, and only deepened my interest...
Reading through we find that they've got the requisite comicbook headquarters...
...and we get role reversed call-to-action sequences...
The ladies are pure action when the job calls for it. When they take off on a mission, they Take Off ...
...they deliver savage butt-kickings when required...
...fight hard and make bold sacrifices for the sake of the mission...
...and, of course, there's the expected explosions...
...but despite all obstacles, the team keeps their target alive and delivers him safely - only to find a last minute complication in the plan...
...but nothing stops our hero from winning through and collecting a hero's kiss for her team.
Y'know - it would work better visually if she was taller...
A groovy first issue found in a quarter bin a decade after publication. I looked around, but this seemed to be all there was.
Bummer.
I was so wrong...
