Portia Prinz of the Glamazons is a creator-owned American fantasy parody comic book series created by Richard Howell.
Howell was inspired by both the title character of Jane Austen's Emma and the DC Comics heroine Wonder Woman,[1] with the society of the Amazons from the latter a target for much of the series' satire.
[7][8] The first issue of the Eclipse series featured an introduction by Elfquest creators Wendy and Richard Pini[9] and a history of the Glamazon race by Howell.
[13] Since the end of the series, Portia has made cameo appearances in Mistress of the Dark #39 (July 1996[14]) and Soulsearchers and Company #65 (March 2004[15]), both published by Howell's Claypool Comics.
[1] Portia Prinz is the egotistical princess of the Glamazons, a society of beautiful immortals living on a secluded island since 500 B.C., who have access to time-travel technology.
Sometimes this has positive effects on Glamazon society (though usually only as a side-effect unforeseen by Portia), but more often it causes problems for those she planned to help - including her permanently startled consort Nathaniel.
