RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Comic Books The ALL-INFECTIOUS LASS thread!

Mystery (potentially) solved-- if those pics are cross-posted from a YAHOO group I bet you have to be signed IN to Yahoo to see 'em!

That might be it, Lashie. I did inDEED link to the posts Dean made to the LMBP Y-group.

The black n' white Cockrum I tried to post just isn't there, though.

***Bits of Drura Business


The lovely full-color INFECTIOUS LASS from page 1 of this thread by Dave Cockrum is currently for auction on eBay. With nearly 5 days to go, it is currently at $51 after 6 bids. The reserve has not yet been met.

Point of interest-- in the auction, he makes it perfectly clear that his intention in for it to be mucous. So I will assume in S/LSH # 201 that is what it is and by S/LSH # 218 the mucous look was traded in for fabric.

I think Infectious Lass musta snuck up on me.

I've had bronchitis since last weekend!

Sorry to hear you're ill, Beardguy!

Hope you feel better!

Can someone with a REAL computer post Nighty's Drura smiley here? Pretty-please?


***Infectious Lass Quote of the Day:


"Now let's have a look at that wound. This might HURT a little..." --LSH ANNUAL # 4 (5yl era)

Cute 'smilies;, TD. Nightcrawler did an outstanding job with these, didn't he? How do you incorporate them into your posts?

I tried copy and paste, but that didn't work. Though it did for placing the smiley in an unsent e-mail.

Anyway, back to Drura...

... it occured to me that there's a fine old Legion name that's currently going unused and which could be given to Drura.

First, imagine how Drura would be viewed by criminals, etc. With fear and loathing, I'd bet.
Secondly, imagine how the use of her powers would appear to those who 'suffer' from them. Like magic, I'd say.

Since the former bearer shows no signs of ever using their preboot heroic name, and in fact her current characterization would seem to have moved beyond the need to be a superhero, I think the name 'WHITE WITCH' is one which could be used for Drura effectively.

If there was any chance that Lady Mysa would use the title, I'd withdraw the thought immediately. When last we saw her, she didn't seem at all likely to take up 'heroing'.

Along with her new name, I'd love to see Drura introduced in conjunction with furthering the story of the Black Hole and Jacques Focqart (he and Drura are almost inseparable in my mind now).

Oh- and I think the swirly effect from her first costume should now be her power signature.

I really liked her in yellow, as in the 5YL stories.

?L:

Use the image button from the Post A Reply screen.

Or bookend the smiley's "address" with img and /img in brackets like you use b and /b for bold. (The image button does the same thing, really. You'll see.)

Thanks, TD. Here's an attempt...

Hmmmm. I'm signed into YAHOO and yet Dean's Drura pics don't show. There's treachary afoot!

I've often wished that Drura could be shown curing people as well as giving them all sorts of dreadful sniffles and such...

Scanning the Lost Levitz issues synopses, I found one in which she uses the Locarno Virus to combat the Validus Plague on Winath - people infected with Locarno resisted the Plague.

Too bad those issues never got written. And too bad we haven't seen Drura return.

"Lost Levitz Issues"

Great reading!

Thanks!

Don did a great job of bridging the gap between V3 and V4! I really like the fake covers.

<BUMP> (and a shameless self-reply...

What do you folk think of the Drura as White Witch idea? What about her power signature?)

While I'm shamelessly bumping up neglected posts, I might as well summon this one from the past...

I heard a news item on the radio while driving to work today about an experiment involving the use of cells to improve hearing for aging ears.

How is this relevant to the lovely Drura?

The cells were 'delivered' to the ear in a 'Trojan virus'. The virus lacked any disease-causing capability, but was the 'introduciton' medium for the specialized cells.

Add a thousand years and extrapolate.

With Brainy's aid, Drura'd be capable of just about anything.

Those virus/disease powers could work well with the abilities of Sun Boy, Chlorophyll Kid, Gas Girl, Kid Quantum, Chameleon, Umbra...

Drura could and perhaps should be at the top of the 'powers' heap.

Bring her back!

She was in the Legends stories, wasn't she...?
