"Appearing first in The Happy Houlihans #1 (Fall 1947), Moon Girl was among the very few recurring characters used in E.C. comics (discounting the Ghoulunatics, of course). Despite always competent draftsmanship by Moldoff, sometimes channeling Alex Raymond, and E.C. stalwart Johnny Craig Moon Girl lasted only eight issues in her own title from the fall of 1947 to the summer of 1949." — Matthew H.
