Jonni Future is a Fantasy Heroine who appeared in the pages of '' Tom Strong's Terrific Tales '', a comic book series within Alan Moore 's America's Best Comics universe. All stories were written by Steve Moore (no relation) and (usually) drawn by Arthur Adams . Jonni Future's character and stories are an amalgamation of John Carter Of Mars , Adam Strange , Buck Rogers and Barbarella , the major thematic change being her gender compared to the sterotypical male hero. The plots are deliberate homages to pulp Science Fiction Pulp Magazines , due to the plot point that her uncle Johnny Future often returned to 20th Century Earth and wrote up his adventures as Pulp Fiction in a magazine named "Startling Stories", a reference to Amazing Stories . The result is that many of the characters and situations that are considered outlandish and silly by the heroine (and readers) are actually reality in the stories. The plots usually involve Binary Opposition . Jonni Future often becomes a barely-clothed Damsel In Distress despite being a strong female character and eventually winning by her own efforts. Specific examples in the stories include a group of 16th Century Christian Witch-hunt ers being transposed into the future, the literal ' End Of The World ', and their reaction to technology and customs that brings them to believe Jonni Future to be a witch. |
