In the pulp New York of the 1950’s, Moon Girl looks to a life beyond her role as champion of the counter-culture and social revolution. However, she is forced back in to action when fanatics, inspired by her adventures, begin enforcing their own brand of justice. It’s “Mad Men meets The Dark Knight” in this beautifully painted series featured in Red 5 Comics Free Comic Book Day 2011 issue.

They’re bringing the Golden Age Moon Girl by creating a character who has absolutely nothing to do with her? Nice.
And by “nice”, I mean “nice to recycle an idea you couldn’t sell on its own merits under someone else’s creation’s name”.
