Funimation Will Be Issuing a DVD Set of the TV Show of Mighty Isis! Funimation will also have a booth at the SDCC (San Diego Comic Con International) from June 26th - 29th if you are not able to find any on eBay! The Secrets of Isis was a live action television series produced by Filmation Studios in the mid-1970s that appeared on the Saturday morning cartoon lineup.
It was first known as the Shazam/Isis Hour and ran for 15 episodes. Later Isis would have her own show which ran for 7 episodes, so a total of 22 original eps were made. The show has also aired in various countries around the world and is also known by the shorter title of 'Isis'. The Secrets of Isis starred Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas, (pictured top right), who was a high school science teacher that found an ancient mystical amulet on an archeological dig in Egypt! The amulet once belonged to Hatshepsut, who was an ancient Egyptian Queen and the amulet gave the wearer the powers of Isis! So, in true heroic form, whenever Isis was needed, Andrea would reveal the amulet and incite an incantation ("Oh, mighty Isis!") and she would be transformed into the goddess Isis.... Well, I didn't make this up folks!! Anyway, for those interested in ISIS and other DC TV Superhero comic books, we have many listed in our eBay Featured Store . Thanks for reading this pop culture / comic books blog post, and feel free to comment! Michael |
