Nancy Drew, one of the most popular characters in children's books, is dead. Don't worry, though, the Hardy Boys are on trial. At least that is the new comic strip from Dynamite meant to celebrate its 90th anniversary.
A monthly series, called Nancy Drew & Strong Boys: The Death of Nancy Drew, following a previous Dynamite article, Nancy Drew & Strong Boys: Big Lies, even though Dynamite explained that they are an independent series that needs to be read together. The author of that series, Anthony Del Col, is back Death of Nancy Drew, and is joined by Riverdale artist Joe Eisma.
Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys have a long history of crossovers. ABC Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries premiered in 1977-1979, with a collaborative novel series, Super Mystery, it lasted for nearly 10 years, until publisher Simon & Schuster erased almost all of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys' telecasts in 1997.
Aside from the long history of the characters as friends and collaborators, killing a female character and giving her work to two young men is not a good look. And, even if a quick plot twist proves that Nancy's death was all in vain, it doesn't seem like a good way to inform your Nancy Drew story. Especially given how strong Nancy Drew has been with young women for almost a century. Heck, in the introduction of the Nancy Drew Wikipedia page pointed to the inspiration of women like Sandra Day O & # 39; Connor and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Originally designed as the female antagonist in The Hardy Boys, Nally Drew's cult following has been excessive in comments & # 39; Simon & Schuster is still publishing both the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys books, produced by the pseudonyms of authors pseudonyms Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon (since their invention). But Nancy is the most underrated guy of all time – currently Gen-Z Nancy with her superb CW show Riverdale and Sabrina's Chvent Adventures. And millennial groups have lost hours in our childhood Computer Games by Nancy Drew.
It's disappointing to see what looks like another precious coin suffocation in the role of a male character (or in this case, the case, two teenage boys)), but she hopes that Nancy is more in control of her future that it seems at first to mean nothing. And that we see her use her magnifying glass at least once.
