Love Letter to the Invisible Woman
A letter from Girl-Wonder’s letter’s column I missed in 2007: “25 years after her transformation from girl to woman, the new
creative team of J. Michael Straczyinski and Mike McKone have advanced
the Invisible Woman yet again with a story moment that can be viewed as
one of the few feminist outcries in comics, a wake-up call to fan boys…. ‘Do I look like I need
protecting, Reed? Do I?’”
