>Back in the day, Janet Goldman was an honest-to-goodness flying superhero, the far out Go-Go Girl. But Go-Go Girl eventually hung up her costume -- well, put it away in a dresser drawer -- and now her teenage daughter, Lindsay, has inherited Mom's flying powers, donned her old costume, and become the teenage superheroine sensation GoGirl! Now she's fighting crime and righting wrongs...with an occasional leg up from the now semi-retired Go-Go Girl. Pouring the classic charm of comics of the past through a subtle modernist filter, series creator/writer Trina Robbins and artist Anne Timmons have crafted an all-ages delight, garnering critical praise and a coveted Lulu Award. Storytiming GoGirl!'s first three issues (the only ones that got scanned)

>>153191108Honestly?I just think it was for the cover and not the interiorsThe Dark Horse re-release didn't have the issues in color however at some point that seemed to have been the plan judging by thishttps://www.behance.net/gallery/46878689/GoGirl-Trade-Paperback-Vol-1-Comic-Book-LetteringI think they removed coloring because they wanted the book to be more affordable

>>153191393I like this little wrinkle in the usual It's a Wonderful Life set-up
And that wraps up GoGirl! #3Two more issues of the series were released but neither have been scanned to my knowledgeHowever, all five issues' stories were collected in a re-release publish by Dark Horse and it's freely available to rent off of the Internet Archivehttps://archive.org/details/gogirl0000trin/mode/2up
But after said collection's release, Dark Horse would publish two more volumes of GoGirl! in 2004 and 2006Only one of them has been scanned and after some thinking, I figured I've got time to storytime itSo here's the first of those volumes, The Time Team

And that concludes the storytime of GoGirl! - The Time TeamUnfortunately the following volume, Robots Gone Wild! hasn't been scanned and isn't available to rent on the Internet ArchiveThanks for the bumps
>>153193278Thanks for all.
>Sure! Teenage Lindsay Goldman's mom was a superheroine in the 70s – she was called "Go-Go Girl", but she gave it all up when she got married, because her husband felt threatened by having a wife who could fly. They split up and now she's sorry she ever stopped flying, but she's put it all behind her. What she doesn’t know is that Lindsay has inherited her mom's ability to fly, and has been flying secretly for years. Then when her best friend is kidnapped, Lindsay decides it's time to act, and she retrieves her mom's old superheroine costume from the bottom drawer of the dresser and flies into action as "GoGirl!" Lindsay soon discovers that if she *really* wants to be a superheroine, she's got to learn to do more than fly, and that's just what happens -- as each issue progresses, so does Lindsay. It's not easy being a teen superheroine, when the girls at school are jealous and the guys are afraid to ask you out, and your mom has decided to become your personal trainer, but, trust me, the stories will be exciting and funny, too. At this point, I've made two promises about GoGirl! -- the stories will never be vicious or mean spirited, and no woman in the comic will ever have a bra size larger than 36B.https://web.archive.org/web/20010509131323/http://www.jazmaonline.com/interviews/robbins.htm
>Up until Manga arrived on our shores, American comic editors and publishers suffered from a kind of collective amnesia and used to say, well, girls don’t read comics. I mean, I have some unbelievable quotes from them. They actually said, “Girls’ brains are wired in a different way, so they just don’t get comics.” Somehow, it never, ever, occurred to them that girls weren’t reading comics because girls are not interested in overly muscled guys with square jaws punching each other out.>ROBBINS: No. We did this pre-Manga. This goes back to 1999. Anne Timmons is the artist, by the way, and she is just such a fabulous artist, and we work together as a writer/artist team so well that I have called us the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby of girls’ comics. We first met at a convention in the late ’90s and kind of became email pen pals, and then one day, she said, “Let’s do a comic together. You write, and I draw.” And I thought, “Fat chance we’ll have of selling this,” because in those days, Manga had not really gotten its hold on the United States yet, and there was really very little out there for girls, but I thought, what do I have to lose? I have a file cabinet in my head of all these comics ideas that I want to do, and I pulled out of the file cabinet the file on the flying teenager and created GoGirl! In the beginning, Image was publishing us in comic book form, but you may or may not know that the problem of comic books if you’re aimed at girls, not so much any more, because of Manga, but in those days, if you were aiming your comic book at girls, you had a terrible time getting it distributed. There were comic book stores that simply didn’t want to carry girls’ comics, and all they had was superhero comics for boys.https://mrmedia.com/2007/06/trina-robbins-gogirl-graphic-novelist/
>"I never would have tried Image Comics for GoGirl, because they have a reputation for comic books featuring women with exaggerated features," Robbins explains. "However, Anne queried Larry Marder, then the editor-in-chief for Image, and what do you know? He liked it! Since then Jim Valentino has taken over that position and he has been truly helpful and encouraging.">Valentino has nothing but praise for Robbins and further clarifies how GoGirl fits with the ‘new’ Image. "We’re attempting to reach as wide an audience as possible, by presenting as diverse and interesting line as possible," Valentino says. "As has been much publicized, we’re attempting to de-emphasize certain types of overtly gratuitous books. I’m a long-time fan of Trina and her work. The book's very existence helps to move us closer to those goals. This book will give retailers something they can, in good confidence, hand to a reader of any age. It is a book that can be given, without fear of offending, to any number of charitable organizations. It helps to show that comics are a medium that can be any and, indeed, everything. These are the goals in publishing a title like GoGirl, to show that comics do not have to be adolescent male power fantasies, but can be much more. My administration will always support books of this type as I firmly believe this industry desperately needs them to be published."https://web.archive.org/web/20010211205424/http://www.fandomshop.com/comics/features/Gogirl030200.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20070420185522/http://www.popimage.com/gogirl/gogirl.htm

>>153190767I remember this
She looks like ryona material
>>153190767Hey, I've read a manga with a similar premise.I imagine this has a wildly different tone, though.
>>153192288>but the light is just reaching usThat's actually a myth
>>153195204...is it worth a read?
>>153191043I've had dreams like this. Not so much the smashing of stuff on my head but close enough.
>>153191582Weird crossover but a cute and welcomed oneI can't tell if she's wearing pants or not given Whiteout is set in Antarctica
>>153196717I didn't care for the story. It's really convoluted and takes itself too seriously for a hentai mainly about the mother and daughter getting raped a bunch. There's one issue where the mother fucks a bunch of boys but that seems to have been the exception. There's a story where the daughter gets possessed with some alien cock and rapes her mother. She eventually gets a girlfriend. And then it stops. Seems like it was getting ready to follow the teen heroes more but it doesn't. There's several stories but there are also ones done by others and not as good as the main group doing them.
Reading
>>153195204For me, it's the doujin the creator made where the mother gets gang raped by shotas.
>>153190767this was a nice read, thank you.Inn fact, is this available digitally to buy somewhere?
>>153201263Unfortunately noA quick search suggests nothing lime a Kindle releaseTrina Robbins died two years ago so I'm not sure who'd even be the one in charge of a re-release
>>153200566....huh
>>153201557looks like there are TPs available, but the cost of importing from US to EU is nowadays impossible.I guess I'll just put them in wishlist andd wait for a chance
>>153191190And then in 2022 this came outDo we count U-Go Girl as well?
Honestly I don't think digital gradients work well for this
>>153205630Not at all.
This looks like Barbie coloring books my sister would get
I feel like this book was a victim of the direct market after the crashGirl comics did take off but it was outside that market
>>153191140She reminds me of Arisia here
