For a while there my dear fanboy decided that we should do a site dedicated to the family comic fan. Honestly, our family loves comic book characters in their many forms. I started a site that we would both work on but for various reasons it was just me posting. While I love the concept of
Married With Comics, it ended up just being me. And so, I'm back here reveling in my fanchickness. The following post reflects my life as a Fanchick.
Every now and then I go to Ebay and type "Wonder Woman" into the search box. I would find many things that are cool, and many things that are vintage but nothing that I just had to have.
One day I was on Amazon.com looking for a book for my little fanchicklet. I'd seen an "I Can Read" book with Superman on the cover. On the back of the book was an add for a Wonder Woman story. I had to have it to read to my daughter. They didn't have one in stock at the store. Big surprise. As soon as I got home I went to Amazon looking for it. I typed Wonder Woman into the search bar thinking that there would be a few listings: the
Linda Carter series,
the last animated movie,
a few costumes and
the book I was looking for. Oh, boy... I had no idea there was so much stuff available. I never see anything in the stores. I assumed it just didn't exist. I was so very, very wrong.
I was able to narrow down my choices to 3 things I really needed to have
Polly Pocket!
We have a Batgirl and Robin just like it
It's just cool!
I made a purchase that day and it is one that I don't regret. I took the high road and bought the Polly Pocket set for my daughter. I am a firm believer that little girls need heroes too. And this is my effort to help my daughter believe in a woman who is smart, beautiful and can kick some major butt.
