Description

I (re)joined Hero (years after I should have) and got this very nice sketch card, but I didn't recognize her

I did the obvious and appealed to the vast unpaid research department (comicart-l) and I believe they delivered (thanks to Mark Yanko and Eric Chun). I now believe this to be Lyra the Femizon from Savage Tales #1.

You can read about her here.

PS. The Professor - Brian Stroud - contacted Bob and Bob confirmed that it is Lyra. Here's the note from Bob.

Bryan,

You bet. One of my favorite Romita jobs. Love to bring her back.

A very nice sketch card. Wiacek gave the drawing a rather Romita-esque quality.

I felt the same thing - very retro, very Romita, Sr. Cool!

I loved Lyra and this is perfect; Bob did an amazing job on this piece.
