Four years before Ororo Munroe made her first appearance in 1975's Giant Size X-Men #1, another costumed Black superheroine flew across comic pages (in her own strip) for two issues!
If you want to know more about her, and read her premiere appearance, go HERE!
In place of my usual pithy prose, the first in an ongoing series of costume comparisons between comic and live-action versions of characters.
First up:
Storm's original Dave Cockrum-designed costume
and the film version as worn by Halle Berry in the first X-Men film.
Ain't it a shame they didn't let her wear the comics version? ;-)
Interestingly, they modified the comics version to somewhat reflect the movie's design...
