The Society of Unordinary Young Ladies
July 15, 2010, filed under: Studio, by LexI took a detour from Kid B. this week to work on some pin-up art for my friend’s comic book series The Society of Unordinary Young Ladies. Created by Wahab Algarmi, it’s the story of a group of fresh-faced and talented sitcom girls who are in fact secret agents! The story is set in the 80’s and features Punky Brewster, Small Wonder and Lassie (to name a few); it’s full of pop-culture references and lots of inside humor only a kid raised on TV and Corn Pops would know. The SoUYL has a long and proud history of agents and I decided to focus on the team from the 60’s. Can you name them all? (click to enlarge)
L to R: Mary-Ann (Gilligan’s Island), Jeannie (I Dream of Jeannie), Jamie Summers (The Bionic Woman), Samantha (Bewitched) and Marilyn (The Munsters). Caught up in the Cold War the girls are betrayed by double-agent and their one-time mentor, June Cleaver, and become entangled in a dire plot by the Soviets who are mixing Tiki magic with Space Race technology to take over the world! (At least, that’s how I saw it in my head).
This was a lot of fun to do–thanks Wahab! The pin-up will be in the newest issue of The Society of Unordinary Young Ladies due out this fall.
