________________________________________________________________________________________

Speed Comics era una serie iniziata nel 1939 e terminata nel 1947, dal n.12 al 44 fu pubblicata dalla Harvey, si tratta quindi di uno dei primissimi Comics della golden age. Questa tavola fu realizzata in un contesto storico di guerra e ci racconta un una novità per l’epoca, un fumetto di guerra con un gruppo di donne (Girl Commandos), disegnato da una donna, Jill Elgin!
Questo gruppo di eroine denominate Girl Commandos uscirono poco dopo i Boy Commandos, altro gruppo al maschile creato da J. Kirby! Ma c’è da dire che la leader delle Girl Commandos, Pat Parker, iniziò molto prima come solista nei panni di una infermiera nel n. 13 Speed Comics del 1941, grazie al buon esito di una missione e per non essere riconosciuta indossò dal n. 15 un costume tipo Wonder Woman, poi formò le Girl Commandos solo dal n. 23 e successivamente si mostrò con la sua vera identità. The Girl Commandos oggi è considerato un fumetto all’avanguardia per l’epoca, non si era mai visto un gruppo di donne scavalcare gli uomini in missioni militari, era l’inizio dell’emancipazione femminile anche nei fumetti. Non a caso in questo periodo oltre a Elgin furono chiamate altre disegnatrici donne a intervenire sui fumetti.
