Dear DC Comics/Time Warner,
I recently purchased a comic published by your company entitled 1st Issue Special. In case you weren’t already aware, this particular title was conceived to be a showcase for new concepts and characters, allowing your company to gauge public opinion and determine whether the property had enough potential to garner its own series. My letter specifically concerns issue #4, cover dated July, 1975 which contains the first, and presumably the last, appearance of Lady Cop. I say with very little hyperbole that the sole published adventure of Lady Cop is one of the greatest comic books I have ever read.
I am writing you today to enquire as to the possibility that I may obtain this wonderful character from your company. During the past twenty years Lady Cop has languished in obscurity, nearly forgotten by a public that needs her heroic deeds now more then ever. Your reluctance in publishing the further exploits of this exciting heroine is both regrettable and avoidable.
If you are unwilling to accommodate the masses need for hot Lady Cop action, then I implore you to sell the rights to Lady Cop to me so that future generations will thrill to the perils of that most lady of cops. Or, as Lady Cop might say, “Let the girl go—you’re not in a jungle!”
Sincerely,
Steven
House of Irony
I’ve only just met her, but I already love Lady Cop deeply. She has the traits I look for in a woman: beauty and a keen sense of justice.
I have a deep sense of respect for Lady Cop. She is a steet Valkyrie.
I read this issue of Lady Cop and I’m a better and stronger human being for it. Seriously, I can bench, like, 10 times what I used to be able to do. Her adventures cannot end with just one issue.
DC… do as he asks and no one gets hurt. Everyone should have a monthly or at least a quarterly fix of justice, Lady Cop Style.
If I had a Vigilante Girl Gang, I would want Lady Cop to be our street-wise den mother. She could teach us how to properly use brass knuckles, jump a fence in a skirt and how to break a perp’s neck without a sound.
Karissa, I think Lady Cop would only agree to take your gang under her wing if you changed your criminal ways and became a force for Good. One of your gang would be disgusted by this turn of events and start her own rival gang. Let’s call her Patch, because she only has one eye. Then, during the big confrontation when you have her at your mercy, you would turn away and let her live, all while Patch screams at you for being a coward. You’d apologize to Lady Cop for not finishing Patch off, but Lady Cop would put her arm around you and tell you that sometimes allowing people to live takes the greatest courage of all. When you ask her when you can take the test to become Lady Cop Jr., she tells you “You already have, K. Co, and you passed with flying colours.”
