Jamie Jilynn Chung

For someone who made her debut on MTV's Real World, Jamie Chung has proven that even that pit of vapidness can produce talented alumni!
Though she's done primarily action/genre roles (like I'm complaining?), Jamie's also performed in more mainstream flicks like Burning Palms and Grown Ups.
(The only thing I'm complaing about is why Samurai Girl isn't available on DVD/Blu-Ray!)
Genre appearances include...
Once Upon a Time (Mulan)
7500 (Suzy Lee)
Man with the Iron Fists (Lady Silk)
Knife Fight (Kerstin)
Eden (Eden)
Premium Rush (Nima)
Sucker Punch! (Amber)
Princess Protection Program (Chelsea Barnes)
Samurai Girl (Heaven Kogo)
Sorority Row[2009](Clarie)

PHANTOM LADY in "Army of the Walking Dead"

It's almost Halloween, so here's some Matt Baker "good girl" art! Plus: Zombies! Doctor Crime!
The splash page of the story is the inside cover of the comic, with only two colors.
Oh, did we mention ZOMBIES???
Enjoy...
"America comes first, even before Dad!"--Phantom Lady's Words to Live By!
Doctor Crime (not to be confused with The Crime Doctor), despite being the first supervillain the Fox incarnation of Phantom Lady fought, never returned.
When this story from Fox's Phantom Lady #15 (1947) was reprinted as the cover feature in IW's Great Action Comics #8 (1958), the splash page was left out, because the reprint publisher didn't have the cover printing plates, only the interior plates for this issue!
As a result, the editor retitled the story "The Zombie".
The new cover was a combination of two redrawn story panels and a badly-rendered (and mis-colored) Phantom Lady.
The new cover art is attributed in the Grand Comics Database to Jack Abel and Sol Brodsky.


featuring goodies emblazoned with cover art that Fredric Wertham railed against in Seduction of the Innocent.

PussyCat: Agent of S.C.O.R.E. "Mirthful Misadventures of a Naughty Nonsensical Nymphet!"

If Austin Powers had a sister in the Swingin' 60s, she would have been...
...our favorite, funtastic, femme Agent of S.C.O.R.E.!

This tale originally appeared in Stag Annual #3 (1966), but this is from the one-shot PussyCat (1968) that reprinted her stories from various "laddy" magazines published by Martin Goodman, who also owned Marvel Comics.
The writer and artist are officially-unknown, but the scripter is probably Stan Lee or Larry Lieber, and the artist(s) probably include Stan Goldberg, Al Hartley, and Bill Ward.

Indira Varma

It's fascinating how many British actresses are appearing in US tv series, usually using very-well done American accents.
Not Indira Varma.
She may do upper-crust. She may do Cockney. She may do Desi. But she doesn't do American.
She does do a helluva lot of genre, though!
From her current stint on Game of Thrones to several major BBC sci-fi and detective series, Indira's made herself known both for her acting versatility and her sheer on-screen presence, including tastefully-done nude scenes in the cable series Rome and feature film Kama Sutra: a Tale of Love. (Hey, I'm only human!)
Genre appearances include...
Game of Thrones (Ellaria Sand)
World Without End [2012] (Mattie Wise)
Human Target (Ilsa Pucci)
Quatermass Experiment[2005] (Judith Carroon)
Inspector Lynley Mysteries "In the Blink of an Eye"
Bones "Yanks in the UK"
Law & Order: Criminal Intent "Assassin"
Basic Instinct 2 (Denise Glass)
Torchwood (Suzie Costello)
Luther (Zoe Luther)
Hustle (DCI Lucy Britford)

Check out..
Wait!
There are NO sites dedicated to this talented and beautiful actress?
If anyone knows of one, please contact me. I'll be more than happy to list it!
Other actresses to play Judith Caroon include...
Isabel Dean in Quatermass Experiment [1953]
Margia Dean in Quatermass Xperiment aka Creeping Unknown
Note: the two Deans are not related.
