1988 HALLE The HOOTERS GIRL First and only issue. Sealed inside plastic cover.

Signed on the clear plastic wrapper by Janine Vollmer, PJ Pearl and Ken McCall.

Halle the Hooters Girl was a short-lived comic book character that was the brainchild of entrepreneur Susy Johnson. Unfortunately, the buxom blonde chicken wing- serving heroine was a short lived,  you're looking at the cover of the one and only issue.

It seemed that Cabbage Comics used the Hooters name, image etc., without permission from Hooters Inc., despite the fact that they stated in the issue that they did.

So after being threatened with a lawsuit  Cabbage Comics pulled the plug on Halle.

The story introduces the reader to Halle, the starHooters Girl at the restaurant she works at, her bitchy arch rival Mona, simple minded but sweet Jill, and their boss Connie.

Halle, Mona and Jill are sent to deliver a large order to the local Air Force Base.

Their van is struck by a septic tanker truck and raw sewage is split into the girls van.

The trio of ladies come out of it with no series injuries,  but for some reason, the mess from the truck, coupled with perhaps the sauce from the chicken wings Halle was munching on at the time of acciden6, gives her SUPER POWERS.

Halle was based on actual Hooters GirlJanine Vollmer ( who signed this copy ) , who worked for the chain from 1993-1998 and still is involved with Hooters today.

I have no idea why the two parties didn't work out a deal,, since it could have been a real win - win situation.

First and only signed issue.

Thanks
