That damn urge to confess.

A while ago, When Fangirls Attack linked to an article summarizing Adventure #368. It's an old Legion comic about the perils of girls having too much power, and after being reminded of the story my inner feminist immediately... kind of squirmed nervously and then suffered a happy bout of nostalgia.

This was one of my favourite comics as a little bitty Karen (along with another story which was pretty much exactly the same. If nothing else, Silver Age stories taught me the value of finding a theme one enjoys and *sticking to it*). I read it a disproportionate number of times, always giggling madly.

Of course, back then I was pretty good at reading stories that were awesome, instead of, say, the ones actually in front of me. Here is what little bitty Karen took away from Adventure Comics #368:

The girls take over the world and turn all the boys into slaves! This is the Best Idea Ever!

And then, inspired, I grew up to be a dominatrix  politician  fangirl, so I'm not sure what moral to draw here.

I know. *sigh* All that practice tying people up never to be funnelled into a useful profession.

Well, it's never too late to put that skill to good use, you know. Just have some fun with it.

Reading the awesome story and not the one printed is a very important skill. Of course, it makes re-reading difficult.

As long as I only reread it when I'm eight years old, it should be okay. *nods*
