Jill Trent, Science Sleuth was a comic book heroine published in the mid-1940s who solved mysteries and caught crooks using her scientific genius, improbable inventions, and the fighting prowess of her faithful partner, Daisy Smythe!
Now, more than 65 years later, we're bringing Jill and Daisy back in JILL TRENT, SCIENCE SLEUTH #1, a 28-page comic book featuring 5 stories by 5 creative teams! Each stand-alone story reimagines the Science Sleuths in a new way, including a range of racial and ethnic identities and time periods, from the 1940s to the not-too-distant future.
Suitable for all ages, the short stories in JILL TRENT, SCIENCE SLEUTH #1 include both a mix of "real" science and goofy sci-fi, celebrating women in science with an undercurrent of feminism.
With 5 different versions of the Science Sleuths, the unspoken theme is, hopefully, one of diversity and empowerment. The book celebrates women in science as well as female characters in comics. It's just the first in a planned series of new adventures!
Great backer rewards still available! Thanks for giving us a look!

Went and looked @ the site. Very nice. I appreciate your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I'd pledge some money but I'm flat broke and going through a divorce. Sorry, but good going! :-)
