MARVEL MYSTERY #91 - "Death Waits A Million Years"

Captain America and Golden Girl battle a dinosaur in a story that was originally published in MARVEL MYSTERY #91.

There is a coloring error in the first panel - Golden Girl's headpiece is yellow, the same as her hair. In the rest of the story it's colored blue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Another mistake in coloring on this page - Golden Girl's legs are red in panel 2, while they appear to be flesh-colored in the rest of the story. I imagine she was actually supposed to be wearing stockings.

Golden Girl is no longer depicted as wearing a mask, although here she is addressed as "Golden Girl" instead of her real name. Frequently in these stories she was just called "Betsy" regardless, which was also the way it had been with the previous sidekick, "Bucky".

Marvel Mystery #88 - "The Wound No Man Could See"

Captain America and Golden Girl in another adventure with about the same brunette they always have in these stories, who this time is one of the good guys. The brunette also looks a lot like the Phantom Lady.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Betsy Ross as a superheroine is still called "Betsy", although the idea at first seemed to be that it was her secret identity, which is why she's wearing a mask. Later they stopped having her with a mask.

MARVEL MYSTERY 87

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden Girl's costume was a different color in MARVEL MYSTERY than it was in CAPTAIN AMERICA. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The brunette in this story looks the same as the more or less standard villainess they had in other stories at the time, including the one that introduced Golden Girl ( CA #66 ).

 

 

 Captain America and Golden Girl are both teachers at the Lee School in their secret identities. The school is named "Lee" after Stan Lee, who was already working for Marvel Comics at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steve Rogers and Betsy Ross switch right in front of each other. I'm not sure if they just drew the scene without thinking about that, or if it was supposed to look dirty.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The implication that the nitroglycerin in the medicine exploded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Granny in this story is a sort of an Aunt Mae prototype.

 

 

The Aunt Mae character later becoming important in SPIDER-MAN stories.

CAPTAIN AMERCIA #67 - "The Singer Who Wanted To Fight!"

Captain America and Golden Girl again in a story that was originally published in CAPTAIN AMERICA #67.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually this is the second Golden Girl story from CAPTAIN AMERICA #67, I had overlooked it while I was putting other comics in.

Although Golden Girl had a mask in issue #66, we can see that in the next issue it was discarded, and Captain America refers to her by her first name regardless of which identity she's using, which is the same way it had been with Bucky. Somehow, nobody ever manages figure out who Captain America's sidekicks really are.
