COSMIC RAYS TURNED HER INTO A FANTASTIC ICE CREAM TREAT.

Josh Glenn says

John Hilgart, creator of the excellent comic-book detail galleries Comic Book Cartography, 4CP, and Supertype!, has recently discovered a motley crew of what he calls "implicit superheroes" — heroes who were there, all along, trapped in the mastheads of classic comics, if only we'd noticed. In fact, Hilgart has discovered so many of these there-but-not-there heroes, including EMO (Killing you softly with his song from hell) and AUNT (Evil will say "uncle"), that he's announced the formation of the The League of Implicit Superheroes. Last week, HiLobrow.com announced six of the League's first ten members; this week, we'll announce the others. Stay tuned!
