Madame Doom Saga (Part 2 of 11)

[strannik01]

In the first installment of this series, I introduced you to a pair of Will Eisner's more obscure creations - an American secret agent known as Black X and a femme fatale known only as Madame Doom. While Black X appeared in comics for almost a hundred issues overall, lasting all the way to the end of the Golden Age, Madame Doom only appeared eleven times. Curiously, her appearance often changed between issues, which actually kind of makes sense. After all, she was a spy who is trying to evade attention. It's certainly makes more sense than Black X's ability to go undercover even while wearing his rather distinctive monocle (but that's a tangent for another post).



We jump forward to Smash Comics #12, where we find our heroes facing off against Madame Doom, who allied herself with a very familiar character.

Since the back up livejournal account site is down, can somebody post that story about the internment camps?

Well, I can link to the scans, but since I was thinking about reposting it anyway, I might as well do it. I'll post it in a few hours.

And second thought, I probably won't have time to repost, so here's the direct link to the scans:

The bit with the hunchback was reused by Eisner in an early Spirit story, I think.
