I might have been misparsing your original comment. The "two female characters" thing made me think you were riffing on the Bechdel test. I didn't get that you were specifically taking issue with the lesbian aspect. Which is a whole other conversation.

Ohhhh haha I didn't realize you were being serious. Well, I'm out. Have a nice day.

Silver Age Superman could time travel. He also had super ventriloquism and super robot double building. Silver Age anyone could do anything as long as a struggling writer got to meet a deadline. God, I miss that trippy canon.

Yup, Ebony, like so many other pickaninny caricatures of the day, was a white man's attempt to celebrate African-Americans. He's a sympathetic, kind, brave character, created by an artist whose very status as a white man in the forties was insulated from the feelings of actual minorities - a man who didn't know it…
