Danger Girl came out in 1998 and was great fun never meant to be taken any more seriously than an episode of Charlie’s Angels — it was simply there to enjoy. A kind of over-the-top homage to James Bond, but with Abbey Chase, Sydney Savage, and Silicon Valerie being led by Deuce, the comic series was Charlie’s Angels as spies, on steroids. Danger Girl had attitude, fun quips, great artwork by J. Scott Campbell, and a babe factor that was off the charts — but pretty much in a tame PG way.
Those who remember how dark and ugly the comics were becoming around that time remember how refreshingly fun Danger Girl was. Today you’d hear the woke whining about it, using the nauseating term “fan-service” and calling it demeaning. It wasn’t, it was simply great fun. Often the ones throwing about the fan-service term in a derogatory manner only hypocritically apply it to stuff like this which appealed to the majority, never to their own yuri and bl and all that agenda-driven stuff. Nope, nothing to see there. Danger Girl was proudly fan-service, that was the point, and it was a blast!
In issue #1 we get the flashback that follows the fun exploits of issue #0, which was a prolog/teaser of sorts. The Donavin character in #0 was a hoot, talking to his skull. He was a caricature of the ultimate bad guy/ladie’s man type. Here we have a guy talking into a pineapple telephone. In issue #1 we get to see how Abbey became part of Danger Girl, the spy organization led by Deuce (think Charlie, of Charlie’s Angels, but visible and more hands-on).
No real emotional angst (beyond Abbey wondering if she can cut it in Danger Girl), no creepy darkness, just funny quips, loads of action, over the top characterizations, and hot spies who, like Charlie’s Angels, had plots that put them on display between the action-packed pages of the story.
The story is just getting started in issue #1 but by now if you aren’t hooked, you'll never will be, because this is what the comic was. You’re not supposed to take Danger Girl seriously, so don’t think too hard about it. As I said about issue #0, just enjoy the fun courtesy of Andy Hartnell and J. Scott Campbell.

El famoso estilo de arte de Scott Campbell se encuentra con la narrativa de Andy Hartnell, dando como resultado una historia de agentes secretos que parece la suma de Los Angeles de Charly con aventuras similares a las Indiana Jones y el 007, pero no me malentiendan, esta suma funciona y es increíblemente entretenida de leer.

Fun brief first issue
Bit surprised Amazon paginated this over 100 pages though. Maybe it was confused with a 7-issue bundle. Anyway, not for everyone (should be clear from the promotional though) but I'm liking this so far (sufficiently.)
106 pages = 4 issue collections, which this wasn’t (though there are two of them at “Hoopla”.)

I was hoping this would be a story of kick-ass woman fighting crime.
Granted, that's what the series could be about since so little actually happens in this first issue that we don't really get to see what the Danger Girls do other than wear skimpy outfits and fight with each other, but I wasn't won over.
While I may be missing something I didn't get the 'it's an empowering story' vibe from the comic so much as 'a man wrote this comic about women'.

What if Bond retired and all the Bond girls became kick butt agents? Basically a somewhat smutty and very silly spy sendup. Dumb entertainment.
