The Empress of the Silver Snake!

[joasakura]

colonel_green's post on Wonder Woman tweaked a childhood memory. Giant spacefaring silver snake, a la 1979!

from WW Vol. 1, #252, 1979

Hmmm, reminds me of the sort of mecha that Zoltar (Berg Katse) would unleash in "Battle of the Planets" (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman)

[joasakura]

between the giant beetles and the terrapin and everything else, I'm amazed that I don't recall a giant snake. However, katzedecimal might remember better than I. :D

(and I am a HUGE huge huge Gatch/BotP fan. ;D)

Iron Beast Snake 828 sort of comes close

[joasakura]

yeah, but that's more a hydra than just a plain ol' snake :D

Okay then, you leave me no choice but to refer to the 1990's OAV's notably the third one which gave us "Devil Snake

[joasakura]

the OAV gave us a nekkid condor shower scene. It's all right in my book :D

And thanks to the Astroboy movie bombing, it looks like we won't be seeing a Gatch movie next year. Shame, the pre-production stuff looked good.

[joasakura]

I'm still in denial about that.

Apparently Imagi's LA studios closed down in February and sold off all their equipment, so it seems unlikely unless they get major investment from somewhere.

Who knows, they might pull it off. Impossible to say at this point.

She looks like Starfire.

[v_various]

wait wait, you say there is going to be a snake-type baddie in WW? The only reason more shallow than the one I dropped the title for, is this one in which I will pick it up again.

Fuck ya, snakes.

[joasakura]

there currently is! (see the post below this one!)

[zordboy]

The Power Rangers could take it. *nods*

[former_callixte]

oops sorry. replied to the wrong spot.

[former_callixte]

Wow, I think I remember reading this one. And there was one posted a month or so ago about the fight on the moon that I actually have somewhere.

Shit like this is why Silver Age nostalgia is a good thing.
