James Hanna’s Gertie McDowell, heroine of The Ping-Pong Champion of Chinatown, returns in “Lights Out Lizzie,” published in Across the Margin. Gertie is recruited by Christian Ladies of Wrestling, a professional women’s wrestling troop, whose mission is to bring folks to Jesus by having wrestlers pretending to be god-fearing women wallop the daylights out of wrestlers pretending to be sinners. Madcap humor or social commentary? You decide.
