That may be the Crimson Rider, though in regards to the Woman in Red, it was great to see her get published by Dynamite Entertainment in the 21st century: I usually find the artwork in those Dynamite comics a deal-breaker for me but that doesn't look too bad. Is the comic titled "Woman in Red" ? That particular page comes from Project Superpowers: Chapter Two #4 (November, 2009):  |

Belle was apparently never referred to as “Owl Girl” in any of Dell’s comics, though was instead referred to as “Miss Owl,” in Crackajack Funnies #36 (June, 1941):  More of “Demon Reporter” Miss Owl:     |

I'm not counting Sheena, as important as she is, because you wouldn't count Tarzan before Superman although Sheena was original to comic books. I’d give exceptions to Fantomah and Panther Woman, whom seemed distinctly beyond a class Tarzan was in.    |

Read a couple early '60s letters pages from Archie's Adventures Of The Fly. Marv Wolfman didn't like the addition of Fly Girl while Buddy Saunders did, but was maybe more interested to see The Black Hood or even the Wizard appear in the future! For the time Fly Girl was maybe one of the few female super characters allowed to look very female... The Invisible Woman and The Wasp at Marvel were far from glamorous, though The Wasp was a fashionista type, and DC's Wonder Woman was looking fairly square while Supergirl was more cute perky teen type... Fly Girl was a model actress, kind of like Elastigirl in The Doom Patrol, only she looked the part more... like Anne Francis.  Somehow I was lucky enough to have the 1961 first appearance of Kim Brand, #13...  and also the first in costume appearance in the next issue, #14...  Artist John Rosenberger later got to draw Supergirl and Wonder Woman for a fairly reviled Brave & Bold issue. He was definitely one of the best figure artists of the '60s (alongside John Buscema). |

Also from around this time was Saturn Girl, whom was apparently the first superheroine to be the leader of a superhero team (Adventure Comics #323, August 1964).  |

Fly Girl got featured more than most female sidekicks, since Archie owned her, while Simon & Kirby maintained the copyright on The Fly, which is why she continued to be used and later years and he didn't (apart from the Red Circle revival, in the 80s and the Impact line, though in a new form. |

Have there been many cases of superheroines with their own sidekicks, like Batman and Robin or Captain America and Bucky? I'm sure there must have been at least a few but nothing comes to mind. Of course sidekicks in general fell out of fashion, thankfully, after when - the 60s?

On tv in the '70s there was Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.  |
