Male Heroes As Women.

Back before the split between TG Comics and TG Caps, I posted some "counterfeit comic covers" that were not strictly speaking modified covers, but assembled from images from various sources. After a long dry spell, I have produced another, inspired by the old LucasArts video-game "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" (which would have made a much better movie than Crystal Skulls IMHO). Does it work, do you think?

The path to the Dragon's Heart is more dangerous than you can imagine, Dr. Jones.

works for me, Sis!

Hmm... I suppose that what I had in mind was whether if, in the absence of the wall of text I used here, and without the assumptions inherent in the cover being presented on a TG forum, it was clear that the girl in the foreground was Dr. Jones swapped into Mei-Ying's body? My idea was that the fedora-hat-and-gun shadow on the wall behind her could serve double duty as the physical shadow of her target, and the metaphorical shadow of her past. Do I over-think these things?

Also, what about the speech-bubble? I mainly went for the "broken English" style because it compressed the text into a smaller space, but... does it work in the "story", or am I just indulging in a bad racist stereotype? In the game Mei-Ying (voice actor Wu Junmei AKA Vivian Wu) had a noticeable but entirely natural and appropriate accent, but it is hard to get that over in print.

that's brilliant
