US Comics writers write a Magical Girl story

Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld certainly qualifies, bonus points for predating Sailor Moon by a few years too...

Well, Sailor Moon didn't create the genre. (Though it certainly took it in a new direction...)
I'll admit, I'm curious about Amethyst. Never read any of her comics, but they sound interesting...

Jack Kirby's would be about a girl who gains New Gods tech and becomes a superhero...
I want that now O.o

Wasnt Cutie Honey sort of a precursor to the Magical Girl Warrior genre that Sailor Moon created? (Honey was more of a straight up super heroe show than a magical girl show).

It's a shounen with a female protagonist, but it's considered the 'Prototype' of the magical girl genre and a magical girl series in its own right.

Honestly Superman has more than a few similarities to magical girl characters as it is.

What, are you dense? I'm the GODDAMN SAILOR MOON!" *Chest is the size of a Minivan*

So basically Eiken with magical girls?

Karakuri Dôji Ultimo, and I believe they already finished it if I recall right.

The Manga has been available for about a year now.

So was it any good?

I suppose if you gave him a tiara and a miniskirt then made it so that he had to activate his powers by holding up a small golden staff and shouting "Sun Sparkle Ignite" then spinning around in sexy poses, that would even be true.

Im not sure Ive heard Heroman (the anime Stan Lee worked on is pretty good though

[Kage Kisaragi]

the artwork/character designs looked exceptional but that's just me.

Actually, it's still going, just to correct my previous post. It's pretty good, although a bit of your typical shonen manga.

Mild mannered Clark Kent one day finds a talking white dog who led him to a space ship. Contained in it was an S-shaped locket that, when lifted up to the sun with a chant of "Up, Up and Away!" turns him into the beautiful mini-skirted warrior of justice, Supergirl!

Y'know, that sounds a lot like He-Man, now that I think about it. Just make him turn into She-Ra, raise Cringer's voice a few octaves (or replace him with Zoar with the Sorceress' voice) and voila! Horrifying '80's magical girl show! Complete with off-topic moral at the end of the episode!

I was thinking this. Also: kinda' sorta' Kellys I Kill Giants.
