Talk:Lady Satan (Chesler)

70's revival?
from the Public Domain Heroes facebook group:


 * "In 1973, Alan Hewetson revived the "Lady Satan" name for a very different sort of character. Due to improper copyright notices, the magazines in which she appeared were public domain upon publication. This character--Anne Jason, who was possessed by the spirit of an evil witch who wanted to be the mother of Satan's child--was the first female African American character to star in her own comic book series.


 * NUELOW Games recently collected, for the first time anywhere, all the 1970s "Lady Satan" stories in one place. Check 'em out!"

and from the product page:

After being dormant for centuries, a spirit of ultimate evil stirs and seizes control of young Anne Jason's body. What follows is a violent struggle for control of a life that's been stolen... and to stop the will of Satan to be manifest on Earth.

Lady Satan 1974 is the first-ever collection of the entire series that first ran in Scream and Psycho magazines from Skywald Publishing. Hewetson's creation is a little remarked upon milestone in American comics history, as it was the first series to star an African Amercian woman (even if she was possessed by a Bride of Satan for much of each of the four chapters).

Skywald also put out the magazines where Hell-Rider and Butterfly first appeared. Could there be more public domain characters waiting to be found in their magazines? JoeFrankenstein (talk) 18:52, December 15, 2015 (UTC)
