Lauren Mason never wanted to be a heroine, but when Merlin gave her super-powers, what choice did she have? See the buxom, brunette and somewhat bumbling Yankee Girl in this special volume featuring three all new adventures, plus several out-of-print stories from the 1990s and other YG rarities!
Set in the Fabulous ’50's, YG must face the awful onslaught of the combined evil might of The Panda, Lady Luger and Fritz Voltzman, with only guest-star Roger (The Avenger) Wright to lend a hand, in “Buzz Bomb Blitz”, a comic- book tor-du-force penned by Wild Bill Black, penciled by Earnest Eric Coile, with inks by Stellar Scott Shriver and Wild Bill Himself. It’s chock full of storm troopers, zeppelins, doughboys and V-1 rocket madness! Then, in an all-new modern-era story, Lauren (Yankee Girl) Mason treats herself to a tropical island vacation on the No Trouble atoll that quickly degenerates into a disaster on two levels, in “Can’t Stand The Heat, Kaiju?” ; plotted and penciled by Rambunctious Rock Baker, with ink finishes by Jaunty Jeff Austin and dialogue by Stunning Stephanie Heike. Then, step down memory lane for a selection of YG’s greatest adventures not seen since the 1990's; including her first AC featured role in an untitled story originally published in the long-out-of-print Good Girl Art Quarterly #7, written and inked by Mark Heike, and penciled by Dave Roberts. See Yankee Girl and She-Cat battle it out (literally) for the role of spokes model for BH Industries. Then, as first seen ‘way back in Good Girl Art Quarterly #11, it’s Yankee Girl in the now-classic “Sugar Cakes,” written and inked by Mark Heike, and penciled by Bad Brad Gorby. YG tries a new job; this time selling “Little Igor” snack cakes. Guest-starring the Green Lama.
Next, Lauren Mason bumps into her old fiance’ (from the Golden Age days) Corey Habot in “Old Flames,” written & drawn by Chris Allen, and inked by Mark Heike. This one initially appeared back in Femforce #108. Then, YG runs afoul of the evil plotting of the villainous Vulture in “The School For Yankee Girls, written by Bill Black and drawn by Chris Allen, with inks by Mark Heike, from Femforce #109. After that, it’s back to the distant past of the 1940's, for a brief text overview of the actual Golden Age publishing history of YG at Harry “A” Chesler publications (written by Bill Black), followed by complete reprints of the only two actual Golden Age YG stories produced in the 1940's; both of which were drawn by Ralph Mayo.
And finally, a reprint of what is perhaps the “lost” Golden Age YG story, Kitty Kelly, from Chesler’s Red Seal #17, in 1946.
