The Woman in Red is not only just the first masked female crimefighter in comic book history, as it's widely known....she also broke the first world record of bad lines on a single comic book page, see the record at page 64

[she also broke the first world record of bad lines on a single comic book page, see the record at page 64] Don't know where you post entries, but what a great record to try to break1 I Wish I'd written that page. I'd be proud of it!
