Lady Liberty?

--complete guess.

When our story opens, the Question is investigating an impossible locked-room murder mystery involving a midget and a 6'6"-tall call girl into heavy bondage. Don't worry, I'll explain later. It's all vitally relevant.

Does that cut into your listening pleasure ???

I'll go with the least obvious answer.

Aunt Sam.

Well, now, if that doesn't fit the bill, there's also Miss America, but I just recalled reading that storyline and now I remember her name. It's also the name of a district. The female Uncle Sam was named Columbia.

Columbia it is! A female personification of America, seen on coins in the early part of the 20th Century (the "walking liberty" half-dollars, for example). All yours!

I bet you remember when those coins were newly minted.

OK, new question. This should be easy for we who lived thru the 1970's.

DC released a comicbook in the mid-late 70's based on a TV show. This was all about a gang of high school kids, their school and a certain teacher of theirs who during his own High School days had been a founding member of the gang.
What was the name of the gang ?

Do you have a note from your mother to prove you're right?

Yes, The Sweathogs are correct. You got it right, Darius. The thread is yours.

Hardly. The last "walking liberty" half-dollar was minted 21 years before I was born. (You can click the eBay link in my sig if you want to see a couple, though.)

Well, you didn't specify which Bruce Wayne (and I haven't been following Batman RIP), so I'll say Police Commissioner of Gotham City, the occupation of the Earth-Two Bruce Wayne after he retired his Batman identity.

The coin yes, but I think you mean you were born 21 years after the original Walking Liberty, the first white woman to land on the shores of what would later be the United States Of America.

In modern retellings of the origin of Jay Garrick, the Golden-Age Flash, one element of the original story is usually omitted. What is it?
