Sensation Comics DR PAT "Circus Queen Mystery!"

First-rate physician!

Fantastic felon-fighter!

And now...an amazing animal tamer!

Is there anything beyond Dr Pat Windsor's many talents?

Closing out Women's History Month, this never-reprinted tale by scripter Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino and inker Frank Giacoia from DC's Sensation Comics #102 (1951) spotlights Dr Windsor's knowledge of toxins and cures...along with her resourcefulness and bravery.
Why she never reappeared in new stories set in the DC Universe after her strip ended is beyond me!
(For the record, her first two tales were reprinted in DC's Lois Lane in the early 1970s [50 years ago], but the vast majority of her stories haven't been published anywhere in 70 years!)

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Case of the Mechanical Brain"

Our favorite female MD vs...a giant killer robot?

Has Dr Pat "jumped the shark" or is there a rational explanation for this splash page?

OK, not quite the "killer robot on the rampage" tale the splash page implied, and well within the realm of plausibility, this never reprinted tale by scripter Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino and inkers Infantino and Frank Giacoia from DC's Sensation Comics #101 (1951) actually fits well within the format of numerous non-costumed crime-fighters published by DC, including Mr District Attorney and GangBusters!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Dr Pat--Flight Surgeon!"

She cures the sick, catches criminals...

...and defeats Communists!

Is there nothing Dr Pat can't do...while looking really kool doing it?

Though Wonder Woman was the cover-featured heroine of Sensation Comics...

...it's obvious Dr Pat is the real "Wonder Woman' of the book, as this never-reprinted story from #100 (1950) by writer Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino, and inker Frank Giacoia proves!

She outsmarts a high-raking Communist officer and shoots down a fighter, while handling her flight surgeon duties!

BTW, the XB-49 "Flying Wing" was a real (albeit experimental) bomber tested during the late 1940s-early 1950s!

It's best-known to the public as the bomber seen in the 1953 movie War of the Worlds delivering an A-Bomb against the Martians!

(Actual flight footage of the ship, not a miniature, was used.)

Who says comics ain't educational?

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Death has Two Faces!"

She's the doctor who fights both disease and crime...

...and she's about to blow sexists who believe she's not competent at either medical treatment or criminal investigation out of the water...again!

This never-reprinted tale by writer Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino, and inker Frank Giacoia, from DC's Sensation Comics #99 (1950), displays both her medical and criminal investigative skills to great effect!

Though this is Women's History Month, I've found the historical posts are the least-read ones on this site.

So, I decided to concentrate on the "women's" aspect of the month, by featuring never-reprinted tales from the first comic book series about a female doctor throughout March!

Enjoy!
