Saw this on Facebook and thought I'd pass it along. Rea Irvin, the artist behind the look of The New Yorker magazine, created his own superhero character--Superwoman
This was her only appearance, as National Comics, having already trademarked the name, came down on them faster than they ever came down on anyone else. This strip was her only appearance in print. Frankly, I don't think National had to worry about the competition, given the spoof nature of the plot and the quietly bizarre figure of the little man with the top hat and book.
I admit, I rather like the look of the character--she puts me very much in mind of Katherine Hepburn, assuming she could ever be persuaded to play a superheroine. Perhaps Cate Blanchette could step into the role, bringing some of her Hepburn impersonation to the part. It owuld have been interesting to see where Mr. Irvin would have gone with this.
