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.
