FEMFORCE NO. 162 - Special AC Comics 30th Anniversary Issue!
By Bill Black, Eric Coile, Mark Heike, Rock Baker, Jeff Austin & Brad Gorby
It’s here- the big 30Th Anniversary of AC Comics’ issue of FEMFORCE; FF
#162!! And we’re celebrating with exactly what our readers love the
best- wall-to-wall story and art starring AC’s classic “good girls” and
their extended cast of supporting characters!! To start the book, AC
head honcho (and creator of it all) BILL BLACK returns to pen the
senses- shattering epic titled “The Commandos Are Coming!” See NIGHTVEIL
attacked in her lingerie!! See an old nemesis threaten the team!! See
Laura Wright FINALLY reunited with her long-lost love, the BLACK
COMMANDO!! See a piece of an alien planet, light-years away, transported
to Earth!! See the return of NIKKI LATIMER!! And see the shadow of
supreme evil hover over it all, in the start of an epic new chapter in
FF history! Starring Ms. VICTORY, SYNN, NIGHTVEIL, SHE-CAT, STARDUST and
TARA! Penciled by Eric Coile, and inked by Wild Bill Black himself,
aided by Scott Shriver! And even as the girls deal with these dangers
out of the past, Ms. V’s wayward daughter RAD strikes!! And when she
does, it’s up to PARAGON (“Mr. Victory”), The SCARLET SCORPION and
COMMANDO D to rein her in as she goes on a rampage over Downtown
Orlando. You can be sure that the result is a knock-down, drag-out
donneybrook, but the REAL haymaker is tossed by tiny MYLA CHANG, leaving
RAD and PARAGON to speculate on just HOW RAD came to exist, and what it
may mean to Ms. VICTORY, in “Golden Years”, written by Mark Heike, with
pencils by Rock Baker and Heike, and ink finishes by the great Jeff
Austin. Next, the team-up you never thought possible, as NIGHTVEIL and
The BLUE BULLETEER must work together to vanquish “The Terror That Time
Forgot!” Coming to AC from the world of animation, triple-threat creator
Andre St. Amour writes, draws and even letters an instant classic that
will have you pondering the nature of time itself. Wait until you see
Andre’s fresh and dynamic “take” on the AC/FEMFORCE universe! After
that, the trip through time and alternate realities continues with the
conclusion of “Team Paragon”!! See the startling conclusion of the tale
writer/penciler Eric Coile started last issue, as the Pre-AC/Paragon
Publications versions of CAPTAIN PARAGON, SYNN, Dr. MARA and SCARLET
SCPRPION band together to fend off the attack of the IRON CLAW and his
fearsome minions!! A satisfying resolution to this fascinating”
elseworlds”-style take on what the AC Universe MIGHT have been like, had
it continued as the PARAGON Universe instead. Inked by the man who
created BOTH versions, AC’s own multitalented head man, Bill Black!
Then, sojourn on into the year 1970, for the conclusion of the FEMFORCE
flashback tale set against the backdrop of the Viet Nam conflict that
began in FF #161 with “Tin Soldiers”. The FF return from a goodwill tour
of Southeast Asia to find tragedy on a college campus in Middle
America. While the rest of the team ponders seemingly unsolvable
conflicts, SYNN finds a unique solution to ending tensions. Written by
Erik Matthews, with pencils by Eric Coile and inks by Scott Shriver; and
guest-starring The BLONDE BOMBER, RIO RITA, CAPTAIN PARAGON, and the
corpse of Ho Ci Minh. Finally, it’s the snarling SHE-CAT in contemporary
battlefield action as she fights alongside US military forces in the
Middle East to stop two new villainesses in “Nosey”, scripted by Mark
Holmes, with art by Andre St. Amour. Eighty pages of all-new,
never-before-seen graphic storytelling done in the style AC readers have
come to love over the past three decades. Guest starring THE SENTINELS
OF JUSTICE and featuring classic AC Comics artwork by PAT BRODERICK,
GEORGE PEREZ and PAUL GULACY. Standard comic book size, black and white
interiors with color covers, saddle-stitched. 84 pages. It’s sure to
