Barb Wire




 
This one topped the list for hot women in bad comic book movies. Barb Wire was a pretty decent comic put out by Dark Horse when they were trying to build their own shared universe. Barb ran a bar in a no-man's land and dealt with shady people all against a repressive, Nazi like government. The greatest thing is that it plays like a remake of Casablanca with Pamela playing the Humphrey Bogart character. The story is very similar with special 'passes' necessary to get a resistance fighter to safety. I love it. It's one of the those great guilty pleasures from a time when Pam didn't look so used up.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Written by John Arcudi and Chris Warner. Art by Chris Warner, Dan Lawlis, Mike Manley, Ian Akin, and Tim Bradstreet. Cover by Chris Warner. Steel Harbor is a hell of a town, with the emphasis on hell, an urban wasteland of shuttered factories, decaying neighborhoods, and broken dreams. Crime and street violence are the soup of the day every day, but if you're a bounty hunter, every day in "Metal City" can be Christmas-assuming you survive, since the worst of the Harbor's most wanted can fly, summon up tornadoes, or tear cars in half with their bare hands. But a skip's a skip, and manhunter Barb Wire is the best tracker in the business, and no super-gangster is too tough-as long as there's a fat price on his, her, or its head. Beautiful as she is lethal, Barb Wire really puts the "drop dead" in drop-dead gorgeous. Her boots may be made for walking, but they kick butt real pretty too. Barb Wire Omnibus collects all the original Dark Horse Barb Wire tales, including the never-before-collected Ace of Spades series. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 320 pages, full color. Cover price $24.95.
