Webcomics: Spider Queen
Warren Ellis says:
“Briefest character description ever, from a wiki squib on this public domain comics character from 1941:
Sharon Kane is the sworn enemy of all criminals. Her specially designed bracelets eject spider webbing. Her boyfriend is a detective named Mike O’Bell.
And, a relative rarity for R/R these days, an image: On the face of it, this looks easier than the last few.
But, go on… make something REALLY INTERESTING out of that… see how easy it is…!

Webcomics: Captain Future
Warren Ellis says: “Now, this is the Nedor comics character from 1940, not the famous pulp sf character. There are one or two pictures of this guy online, but I choose not to show them to you. Instead, revel in the description:
Scientist Andrew Bryant was experimenting with gamma and infrared rays and discovered that, by crossing them, he gained superpowers. He uses these abilities to fight crime with the help of his girlfriend, Detective Grace Adams (of the Agatha Detective Agency). Captain Future can fly, hurl energy bolts from his hands, and has super strength. But strong blows to the head can render him unconscious, and he must frequently use his machine to recharge his powers. I like that last bit. ”
