mary marvel

so DC is in the process of “sexing” up all of it’s female characters it seems. they’ve done it to supergirl and now they’re doing it to mary marvel as well. (for those who don’t know who mary marvel is, she’s billy (captain marvel) batson’s sister who shares his powers granted him from the wizard shazam). mary’s one of the last wholesome mainstream comic heroines out there but times- they are a’changin i guess. and i drew this last week in remembrance of a more classic time…
