The DC Bloodlines Podcast: The Green Fury meets The Super Friends

After slipping to an unintentional monthly schedule with some  uncomfortable elements and unfortunate timing, the DC Bloodlines Podcast  returns for a thirteenth episode set on breaking its unlucky streak  (and nearly broke Diabolu Frank with all the editing it required.) In  this novel edition, special guest Pekita Trotamundos helps produce a  two-person radio drama in the style of ABC-TV's 1979 Saturday morning  favorite, The World's Greatest Super Friends. This is meant to  reflect the early appearances of Brazil's premier super-heroine in the  DC Universe, Beatriz da Costa, originally known as The Green Fury! Later  known as Fire, she was created by E. Nelson Bridwell and Ramona Fradon  for the comic book tie-in Super Friends #25, cover-dated October,  1979. After that brief cameo battling Superman, The Green Fury went on  to appear in issues #42-44, with her origin finally revealed in a full  length starring role in the series' final issue, the August 1981  cover-dated #47. Foregoing the usually biting commentary and  contemporary music soundtrack, this episode is a loose adaptation of  these stories featuring scores culled from numerous cartoon favorites of  the era. However, there is a political subtext that's hard to miss. For  a peek at the early Beatriz da Costa in action, here's a look at sample  pages from The Super Friends #43 at Scans_Daily.
