Cavewoman (comics)
Cavewoman is the name of an independent comic book, published by Basement comics. Cavewoman, created by Budd Root, features a young girl, who is rescued from an abusive mom at the age of 6, and escaped in a time machine programmed for the future with her grandfather, but accidentally gets trapped in the Cretaceous Period and grows up fighting dinosaurs. After the death of her grandfather when she is 8, the main character, Meriem Cooper, grows into a beautiful, scantily clad barefoot woman and finds her body has become "reinforced" due to a strange effect of the time travel, which gives her extraordinary strength and stamina. This is why she is able to win a battle against any dinosaur. When others from her town of Marshville end up transported back in time years later (when she is 19), she serves as their guide and protector through the strange new world.
Other characters in this series are Harmony the T-Rex and Klyde the Gorilla.
"Meriam Cooper" may be named in tribute to Merian C. Cooper, the producer and director of the original 1933 film King Kong.
