Rosemary Strand



First Appearance: Pulp Comics  September 1933

Rosemary Strand, more commonly known as Rosy was an ace reporter working for the The Gauntlet Gazette during the Platinum Age.

Rosy was close friends Diana Fortune, the socialite who moonlighted as the masked vigilante Ms. Fortune. Rosy went to college with Diana and they remained friends when she became a journalist - despite Rosy's disdain for the carefree, workshy life of the upper class. Of course this because for much of their association, Diana did not reveal her secret to Rosy, even as the reporter joined forces with Ms. Fortune. It is currently unknown if Rosy looked when carrying an unconscious Ms Fortune to safety during their sabotage of a Nazi leyline-powered rocket in Mongolia.

A determined investigative reporter, Rosy worked the organised crime beat and had a network of contacts and friends in the city beyond Ms Fortune. Chief among them was blue collar inventor Rocky Rockwell, father of Liberty Gal, and Alan Dark - the mesmerist known as Mr Midnight. Rosy's husband Arthur was also a journalist but during the early 1930s, was posted overseas covering the rise of fascism in Europe and the Spanish Civil War.

Rosy Strand was a PC in Alun R's Hit the Nazi - Retrieve the Ark game, a hack of Hit the Streets: Defend the Block. Full notes of this game can be found here
