Owner's Description

Wings Comics #115 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on page 85. Overstreet incorrectly attributes the reference to page 89.

Wagner uses Wings Comics #115 to provide an example of the aggressive nature of women characters in comic books. He notes the following “Dr. Powdermaker tells us that in Hollywood more men have to resist the advances of girls than visa-versa. In Wings Comics no 115 I actually found this situation taken so far that in the last picture of one story a girl, who has been proved right, turns to her boy-friend and says, ‘Speaking of rewards, Mister – Bend Over!’

Wagner’s reference comes from the story “Suicide Smith” contained in Wings #115. In this story, the hero, Suicide Smith, saves overcomes Latin American rebels and saves his girlfriend Dale in the process. In the last panel, a grateful Dale does indeed ask her boy-friend to bend over for his rewards.
