Okay, okay...
You can have a real post today, too.
As you may recall, when we were looking at the line-up in Daredevil Comics, we saw Pat Patriot's first splash. Not this guy, who came out the same year (1941)...
...we're talking Pat Patriot, America's Joan Of Arc! Here's her first tale which accompanied that introductory page (repeated here for convenience)...
Hmm...
We need an Odd Bit - they've been running light lately.
How about this one...
Both Pat Patriot characters were created & written by Bob Wood (with Charles Biro on America's Joan Of Arc - the two using "Chuck" Woodro as a combination name) Wood is also the artist on the one-pager. To my knowledge, after deciding to use the name for the latter strip, the former character never appeared again.
Patricia's first adventure was noticed by TPTB, leading to a second...
Despite the seeming physical toll taken by her adventures, Pat was soon engaging in all sorts of excitement...
...even donning underwater Iron Man armor to battle a big octopus in the first story confirmed to be drawn by Frank Borth...
It would be decades before we saw such a spectacle again...
...or maybe not...
