Sensation Comics DR PAT "Fatal Decoy!"

Once more, Dr Pat steps heroically "into the breach"...

...with her usual moxie and grit and other things nobody born after 1960 would recognize!

Sadly, this never-reprinted tale by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Bob Oksner from DC's Sensation Comics #106 (1951) marks the end of Dr Pat's adventures!

The book was revised into a mystery/fantasy title without any female lead charaters, including Wonder Woman who lost her equivalent to Superman's Action Comics and Batman's Detective Comics!
Except for reprints of the first two Dr Pat tales in the back of Lois Lane, Superman's Girl Friend during the early 1970s, Pat Windsor MD hasn't been seen by anybody in over a half-century!
We hope you've enjoyed her adventures as the first female doctor with an ongoing series in comic books.

As our new ongoing monthly series, we introduced the never-reprinted Tramp Doctor HERE.

Check him out when he returns in August!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Danger in the Everglades!"

Don't you wish your doctor was more like Dr Pat?

Anybody can sit around in their office, but she gets out there in the field where few male doctors would dare go!

While not exactly "racist", the use of solid magenta for the Seminoles' skin tone is just...weird, especially since, in DC's various Old West titles, the Native Americans are shown as "suntanned" compared to the White characters, not beet-red.

Otherwise, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Sensation Comics #105 (1951) is pretty much "business as usual" for comics' first ongoing female doctor!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Case of the Frightened Flyer!"

Dr Pat...physician, crime-fighter, aircraft pilot, animal tamer, Commie-crusher..

...lets add "unlicensed psychologist" to that resume!

Inker Frank Giacoia also pencils this never-reprinted tale from DC's Sensation Comics #104 (1951), giving it a different "look" as he experiments with "camera angles" to liven up the story...not that it needs "livening up"!

Once more, Dr Pat demonstrates that not only can she do almost anything, she's aware of when not doing anything is the best strategy!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Carnival of Doom!"

Have no fear...Dr Pat is here!

And this never-reprinted tale from DC's Sensation Comics #103 (1951) shows why...and it ain't just her medical acumen!

Considering the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel features multiple series about freelance female sleuths whose main gigs are everything from bookstore owners to matchmakers to talk show hosts to Post Office workers, why don't they have a woman doctor who solves crimes in her spare time?

I'd suggest adapting Dr Pat into a series, either as a 1950s period piece or a contemporary-set show featuring the latest in medical technology at her disposal!

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!
