#50YearsAgoToday Print error in the Danville News (Danville,PA) for a "Thursday" highlight for #SixMillionDollarMan "One of Our Running Backs Is Missing." But it already aired the previous Sunday. And no TV listing in this same newspaper. Those poor fans who thought they were getting a bonus airing!

Jamie Sommers stands in a red on-piece bathing suit with open flaps of skin on her right arm and legs revealing cybernetic parts underneath. Behind her is an image of the parachute accident that almost cost her her life and to the left she round kicks an armed man to showcase her new abilities. The caption reveals her origin. The Bionic Woman #1 (Charlton 1977) - no credits listed (comics-org says art by Jack Sparling)

I preferred The Bionic Woman TV series over the Wonder Woman series.
Remember, Steve Austin is the one with the bionic eye; Jamie Sommers has the bionic ear.
