Summary: Danger Girl the ultimate in campy fun
Comment: Danger Girl is a blast of a comic book and this huge collection allows you to read the one and only real DG storyarc all together in one format.
DG's potent blender mix of 007, Charlie's Angels, VIP and Austin Powers makes for one of the most fun reads a comic lover could ask for.
Campbell's art is full of campy fun, loaded with gratuitous T&A shots and top-notch action sequences. DG was infamous for its lateness, and the fact that it took more than three years for this story to complete, you can see Campbell's art progress each issue.
This edition has a foreword by Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell and features sketchbook and promo material in the back exclusive to this edition.
Comic fans, put this one in your shopping cart and prepare to have a ton of fun reading Danger Girl.

Summary: Things are about to get Dangerous!
Comment: J. Scott Campbell no doubt has become one of the comic book world's most iconic artists, with his old school penchant for muscular men and most infamously of all, the ample babes whom 15-year olds have gawked at with every turn of a page. Campbell's most well-recognized work before Danger Girl was Gen 13, but as he said truthfully, spandex was not his preferred choice of costume for superheroes, and superheroines....
Well now comes Danger Girl, which no doubt is a delightful hybrid and homage of the Indiana Jones movies and Charlie's Angels. Comic fans have got to love Campbell's writing style, coming up with stylish one-liners and puns that have littered the guilty pleasures of action-adventure camp. It's also great to see every chapter start off in a splashy monotone spread shortening the story with hilarious summaries.
The story, if there actually is any, is about a roguish archaeologist babe (duh) named Abbey Chase. As we see early on, Chase has a habit of teaching men a lesson or two about what legs are REALLY meant for while she investigates historical findings before any other individual does.
Or so that's how it begins. Chase finds herself hired under the enigmatic and optimistic Deuce, who has hired a league of Danger Girls to stop the notorious crimes of a surviving Nazi faction known as The Hammers. The Hammers intend to steal the artifacts of the semi-angelic beings known as the Ubermensch, whom the Hammers claim descent. But there's no telling what kind of danger can be amounted once The Hammers find them, so it's the Danger Girls to the rescue... The Danger Girls also include the bullwhipping lassie Sydney Savage (who despite her Australian background doesn't seem to carry an accent) and Natalia Kassle, an ex-KGB agent with a sharp mind and even sharper knives. Things don't get any more relaxing for Abbey when some men get into the action, and what men. One is the cool and collected playboy Barracuda, who hopes he gets to kiss Sydney Savage right before he ever dies, and the puzzling Agent Zero, a masked ninja who may hold a past connection with Miss Chase.
The result is a wild crescendo of bullet-flying action and escapist chase sequences. Campbell's intentions for this comic were to make this feel like a movie, and for a medium not made out of film, the comic excels on pace and really has a momentum unprecedented by most other comic books. This speed makes Danger Girl definitely one of the best I've ever seen. And when I'm talking about movement, I'm not talking about a jiggle factor.
