Introducing Our Vintage Black Heroes Line Featuring The Butterfly Vintage Black Comic Images
Posted by Sista ToFunky on Mar 29th 2015
The Butterfly was the first Black Female Super Heroine to be featured in a comic book.
The Butterfly appeared in two comics in 1971 - Hell-Rider #1 and #2.
Hell Rider was a black and white magazine published by Skywald (Sol Brodsky and Herschel Waldman) which ran for just two issues. There are two features in the comic book - The Butterfly, and The Wild Bunch - but instead of making them separate entities, both stories are a part of the bigger Hell-Rider story.
The Butterfly Story:
- Crime fighting Super Heroine
- Can overpower and permanently blind villains, fly at 100 miles per hour with her power pack, climb and adhere to structures with her finger cups
- Her alter ego is Marian Michaels, a beautiful, aspiring songstress and super bad soul sister
The Butterfly was written by Gary Freidrich, illustrated by Rich Buckler.
The Museum Of UnCut Funk has created a line of merchandise featuring The Burrterfly, which can be found in our Museum Of UnCut Funk Store. Own a piece of Vintage Black Comic History!!!
Please join us in celebrating the 44th anniversary of The Butterfly in 2015!!
