Madam Fatal for Father's Day

[mistygeek]

Madam Fatal has been post here before, so I'll skip this hero's origin. Use the cross dressing for Justice tag to find the origin on s_d or her her frist appearance here.

How is the first cross dressing superhero related to father's day? Richard Stanton only took to dressing as an old woman after his daughter was kidnapped. It was supposedly in effort to find her. (A bad effort, if you ask me.) 

Here is Fatal's third story from Crack Comics #3 (July 1940).X-posted here.













Ohohoho

Crack Comics: bringing the Crack before crack was Crack.

One of those have-to-read-5-times sentences.

I'm still trying to figure out how the FBI guy knew they were spies. Was it because of the oddly colored suits? Or did real American's not hang out in narrow streets.

FBI-sense!

Anyone else struck by how much the FBI agent and Stanton look alike? If they'd had the same tie, I'd never be able to keep straight what was happening in that first little bit - as it is I had to read it twice, stopping after the panel where Stanton is cradling the agent, when I realized it wasn't him fighting the spies.

Yeah, that got me too.

Anyone else wondering in that last panel if Madam Fatal was working out how to convincingly go to the potty in his drag get up? (I appreciate the need for using the correct pronoun in such cases, but since it's a disguise, not a lifestyle, I feel safe using the masculine)
