      The original article that went with the picture spoke of “a new race of amazons” and calls the woman on the right, “Diana”, which may be a reference to Wonder Woman (AKA Diana, Princess of the Amazons).

          Nearest municipal fire department, assuming the city hires women for firefighters. San Francisco did in the late 1980s

          ETA SFFD still does in the 2020s and yes, they’re still swoonworthy and would make Themiscyra proud.

        This article is a perfect example of linear extrapolating.. They were like “huh, when you feed people a balanced diet with proper nutrition, they get 3 or 4 inches taller. This trend will obviously continue until people are 10 feet tall in a few generations.”

        Well now I’m wondering if they designed Xena’s outfit based on this illustration…

      Wonder Woman was created in 1941. I assume this comic was created in the 1950’s based on the dates.

      Only connection I can think of.

        Greek mythology is actually older than Marvel comics.

            I’m sorry. Of course we all know human civilization started in 1776 and there was absolutely nothing before that.

          A - it’s DC comics for wonder woman
          B - often pop culture borrows similar themes, so when an Amazon character becomes popular, other people tend to piggy back
