Your newest superhero(ine)s

So one of my favorite places to explore on the Internet is Girl-Wonder.org, a collection of sites that focuses on both female characters and creators of comic books. And there are even T-shirts!

As to content, there are columns, comics and papers that deal with both the trivial (a comic billed as "Jane Austen meets Die Hard"? Oh yeah!) and the serious (yes, who exactly thought it was a good idea to give Mary Jane Parker cancer from her Spider-Man lovin'?).

OK, I know what you're thinking -- this is way too geeky for me. To which I say, oh just try it! Especially if you're at all interested in a community of smart women, and the men who can keep up with them, talking about saving the world, and their favorite characters.

About the blogger
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
