Cleopatra Jones

The 1970s saw the rise of Black action heroes and heroines on the big screen.
Most of the films were set in the US, particularly in the big cities like New York, LA, or Chicago.
Of the various films, only one series took the lead character out of the "urban jungle", the Cleopatra Jones duology, starring 6'2" former fashion model Tamara Dobson as a kick-ass government troubleshooter in the James Bond / Matt Helm vein!
Jet-setting around the world, Cleo dealt with crime in Europe and Asia as well as the good 'ol USA with a style and flair that would have made 007 himself proud!
Cleopatra Jones and Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold were grindhouse staples in the 70s, often playing together on double bills, which made sense since Cleo was the only Black female character to have a sequel film!
(Yes, Pam Grier did more films, but she always played different characters!)
There were rumors of a third Cleo film, but since the higher-budgeted sequel didn't do as well as the first film, Cleo's third appearance was never produced!

We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ felt Cleo was a natural for our
Seduction of the Innocent!!™ collection of kitchy pop culture kollectibles, particularly the Menacing Maidens section featuring the cinema's women who "don't take no s#!t!"
We digitally-restored and remastered the kool movie poster art for both her cinema classics and made them available on shirts, mugs, mousepads, messenger bags, and other kool kollectibles!

So look for Cleopatra Jones...before she comes looking for you!

Trivia: the character Foxxy Cleopatra played by Beyonce in GoldMember was a tribute to both Tamara's Cleo and Pam Grier's Foxy Brown!
