Given current events I don't think we can expect to see a new collected edition released of this short lived series from the 70's... (On the other hand a flying white girl-goddess in a brief tunic may be just the antidote to the sort of crazy, misogynistic, anti-everything bastards beheading people right now)

I really love the Isis character...I am not sure how old everyone is, but when I was growing up Shazam! and Isis were actually on TV on Saturday mornings(Shazam!/Secret of Isis Hour), which back then was a favorite of mine. It was DC before I really knew what DC Comics was. It was nice to have Super Friends/Super Powers and the New Adventures of Batman running...kind of miss the days of good Saturday morning cartoons.
I liked how they used her in the the 52 weekly. I am really hoping they bring her back again and son. With a Shazam!/Black Adam movie on the way, I am really really hoping that she will be introduced in the DC Movieverse.

I enjoyed quite a few female action characters as a kid in the 1970s: Wonder Woman, Isis, Bionic Woman, Charlie's Angels, Princess Leia and Electra Woman and Dynagirl.

The Isis series is currently available on Hulu. I watched it a bit as a kid and watched a few episodes a few months back when my wife and I first got Hulu. As much as I like 70s TV, watching it now was a bit of a chore.

There is also a great band called Isis... Not 100% suer they are still active, but if they are it must be harder to tour right now!

I would love to see her brought back...DC did a good job of finally introducing her into it's fold a few years ago. I would love to see wht the would do with the character in it's revamp continuity. I would be great if the could introduce her in the movie-verse however it seems highly unlikely.

Not sure if he is more a John Buscema of Windsor-Smith fan! He's on record as a fan of Roy Thomas Conan, Spider-Man and Superman (I think in that order). He even made an Iron Man joke at a press conference...

I have a few issues of this series. Great costume, ain't it? One of the more obscure Bronze Age Bombshells. I never saw the TV show, but boy oh boy is Joanna Cameron hot or what? Yowzah!
