Sexist Female Killer

I love when the male writers have the female characters spouting sexist nonsense.

If I were in a secure location and the shades rattled, I know I’d check. Just seems like common sense.

    “Don’t worry, Miss Barstrow. We’ll protect you! The door is locked and there’s only one window that even a cat couldn’t enter!”

    “So we’ve made sure to place you right NEXT to the window by yourself, instead of across the room with our squad in the way where it would be safer. It’s a little game we like to play to make it more challenging…”

    She made the shade rattle from outside the window? No glass?

    ‘Good thing she’s a woman – a man wouldn’t fuss with a rattling shade!’ – Is The Sphynx planning on rattling the shade to entice Miss Barstool to the window? At exactly midnight when they’re all expecting something? Wha…?

    Flesh-colored clothing really isn’t the best fashion statement if you don’t want to be noticed, lady.

    Also, Dan Garret is not a master of foresight.

    She can fall on the carpet and no-one would see her except for the golden hair.

    These panels are sooo wrong…
    1) Not a single cop facing the doors or the window, surely, they expect the hitman to enter through the wall?

    2) Surely, any police officer with half a brain would have thought about setting some guards on the roof?

    3) Since when are flesh coloured tights advisable for night incursions?

    4) What’s with the ackward angle of the scale the Phinx is using?

    “I’ll show them that there is only one Sphinx! After this woman is gone, I’ll go knock off that big thing in Egypt!!!”

    Did R.Crumb draw this? It looks like something from an alternate dimension where he stayed uptight his whole life.

  • Dierna

    The Sphinx??? What does she do?? Confuse people with riddles?

  • Michael

    Is she planning to hit the beach once she’s done with her murdering?

  • sezaar

    I would love to see the last panel where Blue Beetle apparently beats her to a pulp. That’s Womens Lib for you right there…

  • Shiai

    Gee, this bit seems kind of familar. Does the Sphinx try to kill her target with a Joker-cat? Yeah, I’m lookin’ your way, Englehart….

    Nothing says “stealth” quite like a beautiful blonde running around in a skintight flesh-colored body stocking.

    The interesting thing is how normal the breast sizes are compared to modern comics by “more enlightened” men.
