The Huntress Podcast 76: The Lion Roars at Midnight
The Huntress Podcast talk Helena Wayne balancing a prison break, a kinda break up to a pseudo relationship and so much more. Please give us a listen. Let us know your thoughts at www.thehuntresspdocast.com
While I didn't like Harry's behavior to Helena, and I'm not sure if Paul Levitz was really up for writing this story, I did appreciate it attempting to address a romantic interest learning the hero's secret identity. In the 70s, there was still love interests not knowing the secret (like Lois-Superman), or it was a public identity (Sue-Elongated Man), with Iris-Flash as the outlier. So exploring a regular person's reaction to this revelation was a bit ahead of its time. But it could have been handled better, and I'll leave it at that. See you next time, Hun-Trio!
