JANE: MISADVENTURES OF A BRIGHT YOUNG THING HC (2008) #1

Issue: 1 (Titan Distributing) JANE HC MISADVENTURES OF BRIGHT YOUNG THING (C: 0-1-2) by Don Freeman and Norman Pett. These are the cartoon strip (mis)adventures of Britain's first and best-loved World War II pin-up - the, blue eyed, blond-haired, cartoon legend that is Lady Jane Gay! Originally run in the Daily Mirror from 1932 to 1959, Jane reached her peak of popularity during WWII when she became known as the 'Forces Girlfriend,' her quintessentially British Carry On-style sauciness inspiring British Tommies everywhere. Even Sir Winston Churchill himself was said to be a fan! The ever-patriotic Jane wasted no time in joining up to keep the Nazis on the run, as a chauffeur, secretary and even in Army Intelligence! Jane's initial appearance scandalized America with its risqué content and nudity - which although extremely mild by today's standards was considered too daring and raunchy for American tastes of 1940s and early 50s and as a result Jane was heavily censored in the United States. The Jane newspaper strips will appeal to fans of the character and comics historians alike!
