Action Comics [DC]

#35 [S] - (Apr. 1941) In the Zatara story in the back of the book, the magician's regular villainess, the Tigress, is part of a plot to steal a boy's inheritence. A crooked lawyer wants her and a street punk to impersonate the boy and his aunt. While they're waiting for the ship that will take them overseas, Zatara finds them and turns the trio into marble statues, then he sets off to rescue the kidnapped boy. As a little extra, it seems that a truck from the local museum was down at the docks picking up a shipment of artworks for the musuem. Spotting the marblized group, they naturally assumed they were part of the shipment and loaded them onto the truck. The villains are last seen in the back of the truck on their way to the museum. In the last panel, Zatara and the rescued boy are seen standing on the deck of a ship heading to pick up his inheritence, and Zatara comments that he plans to leave the villainess trio in the museum for "a few months" to teach them a lesson. #777 [I] - Kancer, a sentient Kryptonian tumor (or perhaps something more?) runs amok with it's freezing cold breath and heat vision abilities. It freezes a bunch of people in the Lourve, on some docks and in Metropolis. Messy stuff, it kills a lot of people with these powers.

Adventure Comics [DC]

#418 [S] - Mmmmmm.... A Supergirl statue.... And I thought DC was going to go this whole time without one! It features a gang of thugs who coat the maid of might with cement, making her a 'venus-de-milo with arms' before she breaks out of her stiffening situation. Wish it coulda lasted longer, but thems the breaks. The cover features the maid of might with arms and legs cemented down to the ground.

Adventures of Superman [DC]

#590 [S] - Features Tina (Platinum) of the Metal Men.

All-Star Comics [DC]

#39 [S] - Wonder Woman is turned into a stiff-at-attention stone statue alongside the rest of the JSA. Might be more in the story than one panel. #41 [I][A] - Icicle freezes the golden age Black Canary and Harlequin with his freeze gun. Their stiffened bodies are carried like cordwood! Wonder Woman is also turned into a mindless automaton who stands very stiffly when not being controlled by the arch villains of the Injustice Society. Reprinted in Justice League of America 100 page Super Spectacular.

Amanda [?]

[S] - Reprint of British newspaper comics strip. Amanda, posing undercover as a model for an eccentric criminal artist, poses as a nude (well, she's wearing a fig leaf) statue in the garden to elude him. The dumb artist wonders why a statue would be wearing a brown wig before he's clocked out cold.

Amazing Fantasy [Marvel]

#12 [F] - cover blurb warns of an entire village/town's citizens being turned into living statues! People in 1960's dress (men in suits, women in dresses, one in yellow who is apparently frozen taking a step) are frozen all over the cover but there is no hint of who or what is doing it.

Amazon Woman: Invaders of Terror! [Fantaco]

#1 [F] - A topless girl (sort of, her nipples aren't drawn in, even though she's not wearing a bikini top) is kidnapped by aliens and paralyzed while she's brought aboard in their tractor beam ("..and I can't move!" is the only clue that she's paralyzed, a one panel deal).

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld [DC]

[S] - At some point in the Amethyst series, she becomes one with Gemworld, leaving only a purple amethyst statue of herself (apparently nude) behind...Nice art of her statue anyways...

Archer and Armstrong [Valiant]

#6 [S] - Armstrong's wife (a goddess) turns a female poacher into a statue of silver. It's a pretty quick scene but nice cause the poacher is frozen trying to smack the goddess' chops!

Atlas [Avatar/TidalWave]

#1 [S] - The mythological hero takes a job as a security guard for Capt Steel and finds the steel-coated statue of Judo Girl, who has been frozen and on display for over 30 years! She's straight out of the 70s in her chromed miniskirt and comes to life when he accidentally presses the button that releases her from her frozen state. She breaks loose from the metal pieces that fly off her body and collapses, totally drained from her ordeal. Neat!

Avengers (original series) [Marvel]

#4 [S] - An alien disguised as a press reporter petrifies The Avengers. Captain America, recently revived, rescues them but only after being bemused by their strange statues. The only female member is the Wasp. Reprinted in Avengers Masterworks volume 1 and Essential Avengers #? #190-191 [S] - Another appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. Unfortunately, I don't believe any ladies fell victim to his stony touch, just Iron Man (or rather his armor) and Daredevil. A shame since he had a great chance to touch Wanda… #210 [I] - Someone has gained weather control over the globe. As the Avengers watch on monitors, different areas are hit, and Beast is dispatched in a Quinjetto Rio, where he discovers three bathing beauties frozen in ice on the beach. As I remember, nice frozen in action/surprise poses.

Avengers (current series) [Marvel]

#40 [S] - Silverclaw is encased in a large chunk of amber-like materiel in her pseudo-animal/human form by Diablo. She manages to shapechange into a larger animal form and break out of the block, but then Diablo turns her into salt! She's in her mostly human form as a salt statue for a couple of panels before she manages to use her shapeshifting abilities to shake off the transformation!

Avengers: The Yesterday Quest [Marvel]

[A][S] - (Unknown if available in TPB version) Shown: Scarlet Witch (first icon) and Jocasta (second icon). Jocasta is probably a technosexualist's dream come true, as well as having the nice sleek silver skin effect that gives her a "statue" look.

Axel Pressbutton, featuring Mysta Mystralis, Laser Eraser [Eclipse]

#1 [S] - Great little independent series, the female assassin Laser Eraser is cloned from cells taken from an ancient warrior princess, who was captured by a warlord. When he couldn't open the clasps on her (form fitting) silver plated armor bodice, had her encased from head to foot in molten silver.

Batman [DC]

#308 [I] - (Feb. 1979) On the cover is our favorite villain, Mr. Freeze, in front of a bunch of "cryo-units", some containing men, one with a woman (not a good shot). It's got potential, right? Well, typical of DC the story does not portray the teaser on the cover, but there is one worthwhile panel, right at the end, when Freeze's comely assistant, whom he's promised to make immortal, accidentally discharges his freeze gun in such a way as to encase herself in a big block of ice. Small panel, small picture, nice look on her frozen face.

Batman and Robin Adventures Annual [DC]

#2 [H][F] - Zatanna is frozen, hypnotically, by the Hypnotist. She's seen in various panels, still in the same pose in different views. Excellent continuity of her immobilized figure in her classic leggy magician's outfit.

Batman and the Outsiders [DC]

#5 [S] - Shimmer of the Fearsome Five turns herself into glass. She tries to use her powers on Geo-force and Terra, but Metamorpho blocks her blast. His morphed condition causes a feedback loop that causes her power to reverse back at her. #6-7 [I] - The whole team is frozen in liquid nitrogen or something...the two girls Halo and Katana too.Halo saves them all by melting their icy prison.

Batman Family [DC]

#17 [S] - Demon back up story where Morgan LeFay is turned to a stone statue. She stays that way for a while, apparantly, until modern times. Referenced from Who's Who vol 1 #?.

Batman: Gotham Adventures [DC]

#5 [I] - The animated design Batgirl and others are frozen in ice by Mr. Freeze on the cover. #51 [I] - Batgirl is frozen (finally!) down to her knees in ice by Mr Freeze (who else?). Great surprised pose continued very well in 4-5 panels afterward as she falls out of a building and has to be rescued (and carried horizontally).

Batman: Mr. Freeze [DC]

Special [I] - Stylish issue dedicated to our favorite arch-criminal, Mr. Freeze. Unfortunately, there's only a couple panels featuring a female victim. Still worth getting for the fine writing and artwork.

Books of Magic [DC]

#47-49 [S] - Tim Hunter's stepmom is turned to chocolate. She's wearing a nightie and is turned to chocolate by a Godzilla-like toy's eyebeams.

The Brave and the Bold [DC]

#63 [S] - Wonder Woman is captured by Multi-Man and coated with liquid kryptonite as a living deathtrap for Supergirl. Supergirl pours melted, liquid gold over Wonder Woman to block the kryptonite rays. Another of those wacky stories we comics fan know and love which proclaims the heroines as "super-chicks".

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century [?/Quick Fox]

[F] - collection of early 1930's newspaper strips in a relatively thin pre-trade paperback form. Features a visit to the Mongol Empire who have paralyzing technology. Wilma is kidnapped by the jealous Hum-Toy and is paralyzed stiff (but still able to speak) during a long sequence. At Hum-Toy's secret lab, Wilma is coated with her plasti-paralysis ray and disguised as the Mongol Emperor's favorite statue. The evil Hum-Toy and her accomplices get the paralyzing treatment in the end as punishment for their crimes. The art is crude, but for the sheer amount of paralyzing action, it can't be beat. The original serial must have run for about a month in newspapers...can you imagine? [Publisher Unknown] [S] - Collection of early 1980's newspaper strips with Gray Morrow art. One sequence of strips features the Space Vampire who wants to add Wilma Deering to his statuary of victims "gilded with sparkling scintillium to endure forever". Nice view of the various alien babes who have been statued, but was featured in only two days worth of the strip. Trade paperback reprint collection.

Captain America and the Falcon [Marvel]

#141 [S] - (Sept. 1971) The Grey Gargoyle turns Captain America's girlfriend to stone in some pretty good sequences. She has a good surprised look on her face and body posture. Continuity of pose is pretty good too…the subplot is the Falcon has been turned into living stone like the Gargoyle.

Cat Claw [Eternity]

#4 [M] - Cat Claw, surprised in a costume shop while she's changing and half naked, poses as a mannequin doll. The crooks breaking into the store comment how real she looks and squeeze her breasts. Of course, she must respond to this affront to her dignity. Written like the fun-loving Marvel comics of the 1960's.

Cosmic Heroes [Eternity]

#? [F] - Reprints of 1930's Buck Rogers in the 25th Century newspaper strips. One sequence has Wilma paralyzed while flying in a jetpack. It runs over a week's worth of strips.

Demi, the Demoness [Anubis/Rip off Press/Rvisionary/Carnal Comics/Who Knows??]

#4 [S] - Demi is turned to stone by "that mean snake lady". Short and brief scene, she has one hand at her breasts, and the other toward her crotch. Interesting note: this scene is the inspiration for the Demi cold-cast statue collectible. #5 [S] - Demi, still stuck as a statue, is restored to life in a sequence where she's coated head to toe in restorative gunk.

Detective Comics [DC]

#405 [F][S] - "The Living Statue" storyline features Batgirl, paralyzed by a gas-spray attack, being coated with plaster by an insane villainess, Veda.  Her entire body below her neck is covered in quick-hardening plaster, which totally immobilizes her! ? [S] - "The Bronze Menace" storyline in the early 1960s features Batman and Robin briefly turned into bronze statues. The unbronzed Batwoman rescues them.

Dial H for Hero [DC]

#485 [I] - Cover image of a heroine getting frozen by a villain. George Perez art, so its gotta be good! #487 [I] - Gemini-style Vicki gets frozen by the Radiator (the Radiator??) and comments how she can't possibly move inside the iceblock.

Disney's The Little Mermaid [Marvel]

#11 [S] - Pirania, the sea witch, turns Ariel and friends to stone with her petrifying spray. Nice full page shot of an Ariel statue. The cover shows her being sprayed, but not stone-like yet. Kinky ASFR/Disney-family-fun!

Doll [Kitchen Sink]

[M] - A series about an ultra-realistic (yet inanimate) doll created for sex-making purposes which becomes involved in numerous characters' lives and adventures. She never speaks, thinks, or even moves on her own, but all the people she runs across seem to think of her as a real girl!

Elementals (first series) [Comico]

#28 [S] - A villainous mass of living rock called statuemaker draws the living essence out of a town turning them and everything to stone. He turns the Elementals team, including Morningstar and Fathom (albeit in her water state) to stone. They get better in the next issue. #29 [I] Statuemaker story continues, but only the wraparound cover has any heroines being turned to stone (namely Fathom, in her human form, on the back cover).

Elementals (second series) [Comico]

#1 [S] - Fantasia (a villain from Elementals Special #2) is restored to life after having been turned to solid metal and dismembered. She is reassembled into one piece (she's an iron golem who was defeated by Morningstar in that Special) and looks like a nude statue before she is brought to life. #4 [I] A villain shoots Fathom, who is made of water and immune to normal bullets, with a freon pellet and turns her into an ice statue. Nice effect, because she is clear and there is a little frozen splash on her where the pellet goes in. #5 [I] - Fathom, still an icy sculpture from last issue, is gradually melted by an unconscious Morningstar (she's really playing possum). Some nice shots of Fathom with that great hands on hips pose but we don't really see her restored to life (it happens mostly off panel).

Elfquest [Warp Graphics]

#12 - 15 [S][F] - When our heroes the Wolfrider elves go on a quest to find other lost tribes of elves, they discover the bored, decadent Glider elves, who have cocooned themselves from the world inside Blue Mountain. Among the Gliders are at least four - three male, one female - whose bodies have become immobile and almost stone-like, while their minds seem to be in a kind of trance, focusing their 'magic' powers of telekinesis on specific limited tasks. There are the male and female "Doors" who do nothing but open and close portals in the rocky walls of Blue Mountain; "Brace", whose sole task is to prevent a flaw in an arch from causing it to collapse; and "Egg", who maintains a huge floating stone egg that (in a much later issue) turns out to be a kind of virtual reality machine. Originally in black and white - there have been colour reprints, but it's currently available in the original black and white in Elfquest Reader's Collection Book 3: Captives of Blue Mountain (Wolfrider Books 1998 ISBN 0-936861-57-6).

Enchanted Apples of Oz [First]

[S] - Evil witch turns one woman to silver (while running), Ozma to stone, and Dorothy to wood. Brief sequence, but well drawn. Graphic Novel format.

Excalibur [Marvel]

#6 [M] ** Rachel Summers, Phoenix, is turned into a mannequin in a bridal shop. She's dressed in a wedding dress, just like the mannequin which transmuted her. It's all part of the big show put on during the X-crossover, Inferno. #7 [M] **** This continuation from #6 features the manniquinized Phoenix on the cover. Many full page and close-up views. Real mannequins come to life as well. #57 [S] - While pursuing the mutant Alchemy, whose touch can transmute substances, Meggan is touched and transforms into a golden statue. Early Joe Madureira (X-Men) artwork, and there are a few good shots. [Marvel] #58 [S] - Continuation of above storyline. #86 [S] - As the M'krann Crystal effects hit Earth (just before the "Age of Apocalypse" X-event), Kitty, Meggan and the rest of the team are hit by the effect and turn to crystal just as their plane is about to crash. From what I can tell, each X-team that month featured an ending page where they were turned to crystal. I believe all issues featuring crystalline endings are listed as February 1995 releases, with the possible exception of X-Men Unlimited (Dec, 94). So far, I've discovered these X-Men issues from the same month and year, just before the "Age of Apocalypse" timeline: Cable #20, Generation-X #4, Uncanny X-Men #321, Wolverine #90, X-Factor #111, X-Force #43, X-Men #41 and possibly X-Men Unlimited #7 (although I have doubts on the last one due to its earlier release).

Exiles [Marvel]

#1 [S] - Quick one panel shot of Magnus, the son of an alternate universe's Magneto and Rogue, turns a woman to solid steel. Almost not worth mentioning, but perhaps there's hope for the future.

Fantastic Four (original series) [Marvel]

#20 [S] - Sue and the rest of the Fantastic Four coat themselves with plaster to resemble a group of statues sculpted by Alicia Masters. When the Molecule Man tries to convert the 'statues' into something else, his weakness against transforming living matter is revealed. (An unused cover version of the FF posing as statues and being menaced by the Molecule Man is found in the Jack Kirby Collector collected edition and a Hembecked version of that unused cover appeared in Comics Buyers Guide #1418, Jan 18 2001). Reprinted in Marvel Masterworks volume 6 and Essential Fantastic Four #1. #40 [I] - (1964) Dr Doom controls the Baxter Building and spraycoats the Invisible Girl and the rest of the Fantastic Four with Daredevil with freezing ice. She's frozen stiff and falls over like an icy statue! Reprinted in Marvel Masterworks volume and in Essential Fantastic Four #2. #146 [S] - (Vol 1) Abominable Snowmen plot to freeze the planet in order to rule mankind. #? [S] - The Frightful Four, with Electro as a member coats the Invisible girl in a nightgown and robe in hardened electrocarbon atoms but she just looks like a black silhouette. Disappointing, but the Frightful Four do mention that was their plan to turn her into a "living statue". Too bad they didn't try to do it more often. #232 [S] - Invisible Girl is frozen under a layer of dirt which is "hardening like cement". Another brief, one panel event, which would have been better if Sue didn't have an annoying REALLY short haircut. #306 [S] ** One of Diablo's elemental constructs turns the Inhuman Crystal into a gold statue. Cool idea, hopefully they'll use that elemental more often. The cover with a gold creature holding Crystal's arm in one corner has another version of the scene. #371 [I] - (Dec. 1992) An Irish chick is flash-frozen in a block of ice by Paibok. There are three or four pretty good scenes, especially of her surprised facial expression. #393 [A][H] - Features the Puppetmaster, who sculpts little statues of his victims to posess them.

Fantastic Four (current series) [Marvel]

#5 [S] - Crucible turns reporter Isabel Aguierre into a human gargoyle. Her face is flesh, but "the rest of her remains cold immobile stone" due to Crucible's ability to transform life itself. Pretty pic of her crouching, nude, and stone from the neck down. Hopefully Crucible will put his talents to use on Sue's soon! #36 [S] - Diablo mystically changes a monkish girl assigned to eliminate him into a beautiful golden goddess (not a statue) but when his spell wavers, she is turned into solid lead and definitely stiffened up as her pose no longer changes. Great art yet not so great clarity other than one panel or so. #38-39 [S] - Grey Gargoyle petrifies the Thing and a lot of background people (virtually none female) but not the Invisible Woman.

Fantastic Four coloring book (YES! COLORING BOOK!) [Whitman]

[F] [S] - The Pink Fink (Pink Fink?!?!) paralyzes the Invisible Girl with his "amazing pinkometer!" (yes I know I'm stretching it a bit here!). The villain uses "pink plastic cement" to trap Mr. Fantastic. Now if only he had used BOTH on Sue...

Fantastic Fourth Voyage of Sinbad [Marvel]

#1 [S] - There is a brief bit where Franklin, Valeria and some other close familial types to the FF get turned into wood-like statues…a couple of babes but otherwise pretty blah.

Fate [DC]

#10 [S] - In the last series an alchemist turns himself and a woman into gold statues. One scene, but nice. ? [S] - A kindly goddess helps out a sculptor by smearing her robe and body with plaster and posing as a beautiful statue to impress the king.

Fathom [Image]

#14 [I] - Great ice-frozen Fathom (I think) on the cover. Inside she is semi-frozen as she attacks the ice queen, who also appears to be frozen as well later on.

Femforce [AC]

#22 [S] - Ms. Victory, in her new Rad persona, dreams of being dunked naked in a giant mud pit. The mud hardens around her body, immobilizing her. #51/52? [S] - Stardust is engulfed in liquid lava which hardens around her form. She breaks free from the hardened shell moments later. Not very well drawn. Reprinted in Femforce Vs the Claw #1. #118 [I] - This issue has a small one panel scene of a pre-origin Synn in skimpy go-go dancer clothes frozen solid as it was flashing back to her origins. We're hardly able to tell she's frozen except for a slight glaze effect and a shiny sparkle on her skin. Minor thrill.

Femzine [AC]

#2 [S] - Fanny Phantom, a sexy take on Phantom Lady, is enlarged to giant size and dipped naked in 'Ultra Plaster' which hardens around her. The technicians of the evil Panda (don't ask) use buzzsaws to cut the encasing mold off of her body (in a plot to use the cast as a master mold for clones of Fanny…again, don't ask!). Pretty average art but great concept!

The Flash (original series) [DC]

#114 [I] - Captain Cold tests his cold beam on an entire building. Nice close-up of a frozen secretary with icicles on her fingers as she is typing. Reprinted numerous times, including Treasury format (Secrets Origins of DC Villains?). #251 [I] - Golden Glider and Captain Cold frozen at the end. Iris Allen is frozen in a teaser opening panel, but it is lame since she is lying down in an unconscious pose. #303 [S] - Flash incapacitates Golden Glider by mixing quick hardening cement at super speed and encasing her in it. It is a very disappointing result, however, as she looks like she's sitting up in a transparent bathtub-sized cement block while being carted away by the cops.

The Flash (current series) [DC]

#41 [S] - Dr. Alchemy' Philosopher's Stone is used to turn a young lady to gold after the wielder's been turned down on a date. She's restored at the end of the story, and comments on how cold and silent it was being gold. #43 [S] - "The Trouble with Kilg%re!" #56 [I] - (Nov. 1991) A babe is frozen in a block of ice by a version of the Icicle. Contains a couple of OK scenes. #113 [I] - Golden Glider is turned into an ice statue by Chillblaine and accidentally shattered by Linda Park. #116 [I] ** Abra Kadabra and Dr. Polaris use Chillblaine's technology to produce a cryonic effect. Linda Park is frozen into an ice statue and remains so until #118. Only one panel in this issue, but it is a full page and well drawn. #117 [I] - Continuation of Linda Park frozen in ice. There is a loss of continuity from issue to issue of her pose, but it is intact somewhat within each individual issue. #118 [I] - Conclusion of Linda Park frozen in ice. 80 Page Giant [I] - Very brief two panel flashback to a scene where everyone in Central City, including Linda Park, is turned into statues for an afternoon thanks to Kadabra and an apprentice from the future. So brief its barely worth mentioning.

Flash Gordon [Kitchen Sink]

[I] - Reprint of newspaper strips by Alex Raymond. During a visit to the frozen wastelands of Mongo, a slave girl is frozen in ice and placed as a warning to people who might stumble upon the empire. Nice one panel shot from the rear of a girl frozen into an icy pillar.

Freedom Fighters [DC]

#1 [S] - Phantom Lady (best female costume nominee) turned to silver with a couple other Freedom Fighters. Brief panels of her as a statue, but the idea is sooo tempting! #2 [S] - Conclusion of Phantom Lady turned to silver. #4 [S] - King Samson gains the Silver Ghost's power and turns Wonder Woman to silver (very flexible silver, UNfortunately). No images of it in this issue, however. #5 [S] - The cover to this one doesn't even feature WW as a silver statue, even though she's being carried off by Uncle Sam. There are pictures inside, though.

The Fury of Firestorm, the Nuclear Man [DC]

#3 [I] - Killer Frost, the ice chick, freezes the entire city of New York. Lots of frozen girls. #4 [I] - Continuation of Killer Frost story. #20 [F] - Killer Frost returns, with a few scenes of her in a frozen stasis jail cell.

Gargoyles [Marvel]

#6 [S] - A medusa ray is created and used on Venus, a clone created from cells of Elisa Maza and Goliath, turning her to stone.

Gen 13 [Image]

#0 [S] - Roxy is turned to living marble and poses as a statue with Grunge to elude pursuers. Not a really long scene, but the fact that it was done makes me wish he used his powers that way more often. If I'm not mistaken, a second story has a very small shot of other nude, Gen-active, teens frozen in ice blocks, ala Demolition Man, and transported away. Reprinted in a trade paperback by Wildstorm/DC in a January 1999 edition of the Gen 13 trade paperback. Bootleg #2 [S] - A character named Sandy gets transformed into a glass sculpture, which then shatters. It's a brief 3 panel transformation, with her distruction at the end, yet it is well done. #67 [S] - Although she's not exactly frozen due to it, there is a cool sequence where Fairchild is covered with a shiny metallic chrome liquid that starts at her feet and flows up and over her body (it's some sort of smartfluid that changes her costume). #68 [S] - A one panel flashback to the Gen 13#0 panel where Roxy is turned to marble, except this time Grunge gets to make comments about how her butt is cuter than all the other statues'. She recollects that it was the first time he saw her as a sex object.

Generation X [Marvel]

#74 [S] - Husk, Paige Guthrie, finds ghosts haunting the Mass. Academy late at night. To hide she sheds her skin and looks like she's made of the same stone/marble as a pillar she's hiding behind. Pretty spooky atmosphere, but nice art.

Glory [Image/Maximum]

#8 [I] - Glory's extradimensional home, with a few panels of Amazonian warriors cursed to be frozen in cakes of ice. Unfortunately, whenever Glory returns home, the artists always skimped on showing the frozen babes. #9 [I] - There are other issues following this with similar icy background scenes, but none are very good. This is probably the best one.

Gold Digger [Antarctic]

Vol 1, #1 [S][F] - (Sept. 1992) The bad guy, Gyphon, has a crown which allows him to turn the inhabitants of El Dorado, a felinoid race, into living statues that are under his control. Later, he uses the crown to do the same thing to Cheetah. Vol 2, #18 [S] - (Dec. 1994) While fighting Brendan, the werewolf that wiped out her were-cheetah clan, Cheetah is transformed into a stone statue, which Brendan places in his throne room as a trophy. Vol 2, #36 [S] - (July 1997) To end a fight with a family of alien beings, the king of El Dorado, Stripe, uses the crown from #1 above to turn the aliens to stone. The scene is brief, but does feature a close up of the matriach of the clan.

Green Lantern (second series-Hal Jordan) [DC]

#142 [S] - In a backup feature, Adam Strange's girlfriend Alanna is turned to crystal in one of the better scenes I've seen. She is drawn as if encased under a thin shell of crystal in the climactic panel, but later appears to be made of crystal in subsequent panels. I'm not complaining either way.

Green Lantern (third series-Kyle Rayner) [DC]

#68 [I] **1/2 The much-buffed up Mr. Freeze, in his Underworld Unleashed crossover appearance, freezes a spandex clad jogger and shatters her. Nice expression on the frozen girl's face as she's frozen from behind. Quite unfortunately, Donna Troy in her Darkstars outfit, although frozen, doesn't get as good a visual.

Green Lantern (current series) [DC]

#157 [I] - Jade is frozen by Killer Frost on the cover while Donna Troy (Troia) battles on. Great image but nothing inside fits the bill, sigh.

The Haunt of Fear [?]

#1 [I] - A girl is frozen for a space trip, then dropped.

Hawkman (original series) [DC]

#4 [F] - Zatanna makes her first appearance, and she's found immobile, in her fishnet stocking outfit in two different places at once due to a mishap in a spell! Poor gal! Her spell backfired! Anyway, Hawkman and Hawkgirl find the paralyzed practicioner of magic in the midst of her search for her father. They actually think she's a 'painted statue' at first! Reprinted in Supergirl #5 (1970's series in abridged form but much less costly).

Hawkman (current series) [DC]

#11 [S][I] - Dr Helene Aster, the reincarnated foe of the Hawks is turned to stone by the Absorbascon as she kneels to grab the damaged device. Nice couple of pics of her in a marble-like hue. Hawkgirl is also frozen upside down (ala Wampa bait) with the ice reaching about her legs and thighs. #12 [S] - This issue has a few more panels of the turned to salt woman before she crumbles.

Heavy Metal [Heavy Metal]

#? [F] - Schuiten Brothers' "The Cutter and the Fog" with a nude woman encased in a fog which hardens to rock. Good shots of the Cutter trying to free her, with a great, sexy shot where the front half of her torso from the neck down is free, but the rest of her is still stuck in the hardened fog. The Cutter makes statues from softened fog by using the mold of the woman's body created by the hardened fog. Reprinted in the Best of Heavy Metal #2.

Hostess advertisement, Reprinted in several issues [DC]

[S] - Wonder Woman poses as a gold statue to catch Twinkie Snatcher robbing Egyptian tomb of its precious Snack Cakes (I've always wondered about this one. How did the Ancients get Twinkies? Were they buried with the Pharaohs in case they got hungry on their journey into the afterlife?). Yeah it's corny, but you have to see it to believe it. Anyway, the Borrower (THE BORROWER???) is tempted to steal a life-sized gold statue of an Egyptian King. So what does Wonder Woman do about it? Paint herself gold and pretend to be a statue herself clutching Twinkies. Needless to say, the Borrower shows poor taste in going after the twinkies rather than the golden Wonder Woman!

Hustler Comics [Hustler]

July 1998 [M] - Dead Girl, a stiffened, rigor-mortis nude girl, who has her right arm posed as if signaling to back up and her left arm to turn left, is kidnapped from the morgue and carted off stark naked and stiff as a board thru the city. Pretty macabre stuff, but she IS stiff. Continued in the next months issue. Sept. 1998 [M] - Amazon, as in Amazon Woman (see above) is paralyzed by little green alien men who whisk her up to their spaceship. She says "I'm paralyzed" twice but her poses keep changing, sigh. All new and in color.

Ice Queen of Oz [First]

[I] [S] - Queen Ozma frozen by Ice Men to become Ice King's bride. They also sculpt an ice statue of her. Excellent art in Graphic Novel format.

Incredible Hulk [Marvel]

#138-141 [S] - Betty turned to glass. #252 [S] - This issue has Betty Banner reminiscing about getting turned to glass. #262 [S] - Bruce washes up on a beach and is found by a beautiful, pure white woman named Glazier. She collects men, and her touch turns them to glass. No women, except for the villainess herself in a brief panel at the end turned to glass.

The Infinity Crusade (Mini-Series) [Marvel]

#3 [S] - The 'Goddess' who is causing all sorts of mayhem in the Marvel Universe is turned to a salt statue as Pip the Troll touches her cosmic egg and has his wish granted (It's no wonder this mini-series didn't fly. Cosmic Egg???).

Infinity Gauntlet TPB [Marvel]

[S] - As Thanos begins to take over the universe, the forces of nature try to stop him (Eternity, War, etc.). The force of Love is depicted at a woman clad in a Greek/Roman toga. Thanatos ends up turning them all to stone, but the scene is short at best.

Infinity War (Mini-Series) [Marvel]

#? [F] - When Thanos stops time, the superhero assault force, including whichever superheroines are there, are all frozen. Mephisto looks intrigued by the frozen Scarlet Witch. Who wouldn't?

Invincible Iron Man (original series) [Marvel]

#107 [S] *1/2 An encounter with Midas Mordecai turns IM, the Guardian, and two lovely ladies, Madame Masque and Girlfriend Whose Name I Can't Remember to golden statues. They are placed as decoration around the Stark(?) compound.

Iron Man [Marvel]

#235 [S] - The Grey Gargoyle goes into business for himself, when he realizes that a thin coat of plastic will stop that annoying one hour time limit on his power. TONS of well drawn babes in that Surprise, You're on Candid Statue pose. #236 [S] - Continuation of the Grey Gargoyle's statues. This is far and away the best babe statue storyline ever. #328 [I] - A lady named Meredith finds herself frozen solid by a force known as Frostbite. Great continuity in pose and shocked facial expression throughout the issue. Issue #327 only shows her being kissed to start this chilly storyline.

Ironwood [Eros]

#6 [S] - Cover features elves sculpting a statue in clay of a nude woman. Unfortunately, the scene does not appear inside the comic. It's a VERY nice cover, though because the statue is anatomically correct. False advertising? (sidenote: the statue is Fantasia, from the Elementals comic entry above!)

JLA [DC]

#16 [H][F] - Prometheus uses his hypnotic abilities to paralyze the Huntress. Not a great scene, would have been better if it was more evident she could not move over a greater number of panels, but I'm picky that way. #51 [S] - The splash page features a young kid whose wish to make everything around her chocolate works. There is a partial view of a bikini clad Floridian rollerskater turned to chocolate, but it's very brief (only a sliver of her body can be seen along the side). #54 [S] - Wonder Woman is separated into two forms by aliens from the 6th Dimension. Her body becomes solid clay, very stone-like! Only two panels, but well drawn! #59 [I] - The cover has some of the JLA, notably Wonder Woman, frozen in gigantic blocks of ice. She's in a prone position, but UNfortunately this scene never appears in the book! #59 [S] - Wonder Woman and the rest of the JLA are turned to coal by Neron. Santa Claus saves the day. Yep, it's as disappointing as it sounds. Adventures #15 [F] - Similar to a classic JLA story, Kanjar Ro uses the gamma gong, which can emit 'muscle-paralyzing vibrations' and enslave people who hear it, on the Justice League. End result, nicely stiffened Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl as well as numerous straight-at-attention frozen alien babes with glassy-eyed stares. Year One #7 [I] - (Mini-series) Montage shot of the end result of Black Canary, Green Lantern and the Flash getting the business end of the Icicle's Ice gun. Shot of BC is from the back, in her fishnet stocking costume. Black Baptism #4 [S] - Mini-series has a one panel shot of WW reverting to clay as her spirit is summoned from her body. Above the neck shot only, unfortunately. Virtue and Vice [S][F] - (JLA/JSA) Power Girl is switched with one of the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, natch) and the statue of the sin is reflected in her with her legs spread apart. Black Canary is paralyzed by Despero for a few panels, but is still able to speak. Her pose is nicely frozen though. Primeval [S] - One shot with a sequence where Wonder Woman is devolved into her original form (i.e. clay) thus becoming a virtual statue when her body is completely turned to hardened clay. Scary Monsters #2 [I] - Wonder Woman is trapped beneath a freezing-over lake. It sort of looks like she's frozen in the lake but that may not be the case. Scary Monsters #3 [I] - By this time Wonder Woman is most definitely frozen in the solidified water, and the ice keeps reforming around her as the JLA tries to excavate her (they only manage to free one arm but the ice covers her over)! The bad thing is we only get a couple of panels of her frozen, total...but at least it looks like she's in the same pose. The cover is a lot neater but it looks less like she's frozen and just trying to get out from under the ice surface.

John Carter [Marvel]

Warlord of Mars #8 [S] - 'John Carter Must Battle... The Beast with the Touch of Stone.' The story is about some giant stone snakes, ones featured on the cover, that can turn people to stone with eye beams. Only two people get stoned, a henchman and a girlfriend of one of the heroes. Two panels, but nice since she's in a type of harem outfit.

Joker: Last Laugh [DC]

#3 [I] - Power Girl encased in ice by Killer Frost. Three panels worth, though she apparently isn't quite frozen but fighting inside the ice. An ok scene, not the worst, not the best.

Journey Into Mystery with Thor [Marvel]

#107 [S] - (Aug. 1964) First appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. There's a good cover shot and okay shots inside. #113 [S] - (Feb. 1965) Second appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. Unfortunately, there's not much that's exciting in this issue. Reprinted in Thor Annual #3.

Justice League Adventures [DC]

#4 [I][F] - Wonder Woman is frozen inside a giant ruby diamond gem. She's kneeling and the evil witch commands her to 'be still' and thus her encasement. Not too many pics of her like that, but she stays encased practically the whole issue. #6 [F] - A time-frozen Wonder Woman is auctioned off by Chronos, but all is not as it appears.

Justice League of America (original series) [DC]

#3 [F] - The alien Kanjar Ro uses his tiny bell to cause the JLA members, including Wonder Woman, to be "immediately frozen into rigidity." Another brief scene and we wouldn't know it unless we were told so. Reprinted in Justice League Archives #1. #8 [S] - Gangsters gain control of the Justice League and force them to commit crimes. They decide to eliminate the League afterwards and begin to pour a cauldron of quick-hardening plaster of Paris over Wonder Woman. Reprinted in Justice League Archives volume #2. #9 [S] - The classic origin of the Justice League features Wonder Woman being turned partially to mercury by an alien invader and into wood by another. Various background extras are turned to stone/glass/mercury/etc by the aliens. Reprinted in Justice League Archives #2. #12 [F] - Dr. Light's light beams render the JLA, including Wonder Woman, motionless. Not so great, brief scene. Reprinted in Justice League Archives #2. #19 [F] - Wonder Woman, in her Diana Prince guise, is commanded to remain motionless by a Wonder Woman duplicate holding the golden lasso. She is frozen in a pretty good action pose, lunging forward with her arm out. It would have been better if she was in her skimpy Wonder Woman outfit though. Reprinted in Justice League Archives #3. #22 [S] - Black Canary is being turned into marble by one of the magical-based villains. This occurs during one of the Justice Society/Justice League Crossovers. She actually is changing into a block of marble, but her dialogue is entrancing: "Oh! I'm turning into solid marble!" Reprinted in Greatest Team-Up Stories Ever Told in softcover and hardcover format and Justice League Archives #3. #53 [S] - A bunch of hoodlums use a matter transmitter to somehow turn a bunch of male leaguers (including the female Hawkgirl), into "statuesque figures". The immobilized Hawkgirl, wearing a radiation 'detector' is released when it absorbs the energy, allowing her to beat the crooks and release the others. Wacky silver age science! Reprinted in JLA archives #7. #60 [F] - Queen Bee, the lovely Zazzala, paralyzes Wonder Woman and a bunch of other leaguers to gain their help. You see, she's becoming immobile herself, a side effect of her curse of immortality…Anyway, she gets immobilized (twice!) by the end of the story. Reprinted in JLA arcives #7. #200 [S] - The Appellax aliens are resurrected and in a retelling of the origin, a flashback to Wonder Woman turned to wood is featured.

Justice League America (Different series! No "of"!) [DC]

#84 [I] - Wonder Woman is frozen in ice by one of Ice's evil relatives. Tiny panel, but a full figure shot of her inside a block of ice and a nice, surprised expression on her face. #85 [I] - Ice is frozen from the waist down and her arms in icy shackle-pillars by her evil relative.

Legion of Superheroes (90's version) [DC]

#24 [S] - Villains have a ray that turns kidnap victims into glass statues, demanding that loved ones pay the ransom or receive a box full of broken glass in the mail. #74 [S] - Two of Triad's bodies are turned to wood and gold respectively by the Philosopher's Stone. #105 [F] - Time Trapper stops time around a group of Legionnaires including Kid Quantum, XS, Kinetix, and Lori. Pretty good idea, but not any good closeups of the gals.

Legionnires [DC]

#31 [S] - Two of Triad's bodies are turned to wood and gold respectively by the Philosopher's Stone. Continuation of the story in LOS #74. Just wish it was used on the many OTHER female Legionaires in the story.

Logan's Run [Marvel]

#4 [I] - Lots of female runners in frozen blocks, ala the movie. Unfortunately they are not nude in the comics. There is also a scene with the Box robot sculpting a statue from ice (Note: this is from a deleted scene in the movie).

Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend [DC]

#60 [I] - Lois and Lana put themselves into suspended animation, courtesy of a covenient deep freeze machine in Supes' Fortress of Solitude. Great cover of them lying in iceblocks. #107 [I] **1/2 Lois turned into a snow sculpture by a raygun. Nice scenes of her tortured by the fact that Supes can't distinguish her from all the other snow sculptures until he notices her tears.

Lois Lane [DC]

#116 [S] - Backup story featuring a frustrated artist in league with the 100 and Poison Ivy who trick the heroine Thorn into posing for a life-like sculpture at $100 an hour for charity. The artist pours a "golden liquid" over Thorn's body to make a mold of her, but instead of letting it take hours to harden, the liquid sets instantly! Now frozen like a living statue, Thorn is cast into the ocean where a crazy malfunctioning computer which has fallen in love with Thorn saves her by melting the mold off her body. Don't ya just love those wacky silver age stories?

Lycra Woman and Spandex Girl [Comic Zone/Lost Cause]

#1 [F] *1/2 Lycra Woman and Spandex Girl immobilized in "fabric-tightened" costumes by Prima Donna's gel-cap "paint balls". Reprinted in Spandex Tights-The Lost Years #1. Second story features Madame Adhesive and her sticky glue gun. Christmas '77 Special #1 [I] - Lycra Woman and Spandex Girl are frozen in iceblocks by the chilling Lady Ice. They have very nice surprised expressions/positions. The last panel features a cliffhanger paralyzation of the Aerobic Duo by the insidious Stupid Guy's raygun. Reprinted in Spandex Tights-The Lost Years #2. Summer Vacation Special #1 [F] - Spandex Girl frozen by freeze-flash camera by those wacky tourists, Ed and Marsha. She remains frozen through most of the story.

Magik [Marvel]

#4 [S] - Brief scene featuring Shanna the She-Devil in statue form. Unfortunately, I believe the villian, Belasco, merely created statues of them in his quest to conquer them, rather than having them frozen into statues themselves.

Marksman [Heroic]

#3-4 [S] - Brother Basilisk turns people to stone…including heroine Rose! Flare guests in #4 and switches places with Rose so that she can stop the villain! Reprinted in Rose #5.

Marvel Adventures [Marvel]

#17 [S] - Another appearance by Paul Pierre Duval, a.k.a. the Grey Gargoyle.

Marvel Comics Presents [Marvel]

#31 [S] - (Early November, 1989) In the Excalibur story, the team is attacked by the Loonies, very loose adaptation of the WB cartoon characters. Kitty Pryde is fighting the Yosemite Sam rip-off who shoots her with a cement gun. She ends up completely coated as a statue. In the last panel, she is seen being carried under the Daffy Duck characters arm sideways.

Marvel Fanfare [Marvel]

#33 [S] *** Part of the aborted Questprobe comics/computer games event features most of X-Men team petrified, including Kitty and Storm in swimsuits. Nice cover of them as statues too.

Marvel Feature [Marvel]

#4 [S] - (1975) Red Sonja finds a town where the gorgon is turning the people to stone. She herself is "turned to stone" but it's all a trick with a paralyzing drug and a mold made of her and cast in stone. Pretty good sequence though of her confronting the "gorgon" and "petrifying" as well as a detailed description on how her statue was made to fool the townsfolk.

Marvel: The Lost Generation [Marvel]

(mini-series) [S] - (1975) Pixie, a fetching immortal (?) heroine has the ability to turn people and things to stone with her pixie dust. Only males are the targets thus far.

Mermaid's Gaze [Vis]

Graphic Novel [F] *1/2 In the title story (first half of this graphic novel), brother and sister Shingo and Akiko eat the mermaid's flesh in the early 1900's. She's sweet and innocent, he's totally evil. Decades later Shingo is still alive and murdering youn women, while his sister's body has been treated to look like a wax-coated doll...but is she just a preserved corpse, or is she a paralysed witness to her brother's crimes? The Mermaid series is based on the legend that if a person eats the flesh of a mermaid they gain immortality. But it's not that simple...eating the flesh may cause horrible death, disfigurement, or worse... (This is the sequel to Mermaid Forest and Mermaid's Scar) by Rumiko Takahashi (Viz Graphic Novel ISBN 1-56931-195-1).

The Mighty Thor (original series) [Marvel]

#258 [S] - The Lady Sif is turned to stone by Grey Gargoyle. Unfortunately, her pose is changed from panel to panel. Cool, dramatic cover though of her petrified and being hefted aloft by the Grey Gargoyle. #320 [I] - Ancient beast-people are reincarnated by freezing normal people and breaking out of the ice in their animal forms. Mostly ho-hum, a middle-aged nurse is frozen and emerges as a sexy mermaid. A man and pretty brunette in a sweater emerge from their ice-blocks as a bull-man and bird-woman. Ehh. #440 [S] - Another appearance from the Grey Gargoyle. In this issue the Thor Corps battle several of the team's old enemies brought out of time by the Tomorrow Man. I have yet to see this issue myself, but anytime the Grey Gargoyle is involved there is at least potential.

Mighty Thor (Current series) [Marvel]

#32 [I] - Sif is encased in ice from the neck down. She's kneeling in forced supplication to the evil Malekith. The whole of Asgard is frozen over too, but there aren't many pretty girls iced over in the previous issue or this one.

Mortal Kombat: Blood & Thunder [Malibu]

#5 [S] - Extremely brief scene featuring our favorite combatant, Sub-Zero. Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade both get stopped in their tracks by Sub-Zero's freeze blast.

Ms Marvel [Marvel]

#12 [S] - Ms Marvel is encased in a pillar of crystal (I think it's sand superheated to glass). The cover is definitely better than the interior art since she's not visible inside the opaque pillar.

Mystery in Space [DC]

#75 [F] - Adam Strange and the alluring Alanna are paralyzed motionless by a strange bell/gong wielded by Kanjar Ro, arch enemy of the Justice League. It's pretty tame stuff. Reprinted in Justice League of America 100 page Super Spectacular.

The New Teen Titans (second series) [DC]

#9 [S] - Kole encases Wonder Girl Donna Troy under a crystal coating. Unfortunately, it appears to be very flexible crystal, as her pose changes from panel to panel. This story is reprinted in an issue of Tales of the Teen Titans. #34 [S] - Mento created a group of villains called the Hybrid, which had a character named Gorgon, who could turn people to stone by sight. (Of course, like all good statue-creating characters, he was vastly underused. Go figure.) This issue, he accidentally turns one of his teammates, a woman named Scirocco, to stone. One panel, back view.

The New Titans [DC]

#116 [S] - Former bad-girl Shimmer is turned to glass and shattered in a very short one panel sequence with only decent art. Donna Troy (Darkstar) is also covered with a green "Gummy resin" from GL's ring.

New X-Men [Marvel]

#141 [S] - Emma Frost in her new diamond form lies shattered, but the Beast tries to put her back together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Jean 'glues' Emma back together, though she's not as smooth as before and has some fissures and veins (but she's nekkid).

Ninja High School [Antarctic]

#77 [S] - In flashback, a pair of magicians steal a magic gem from some company, and the CEO's wife, who's also a ninja, tries to stop them. They cast a spell on her that turns her into a statue for 48 hours. Just one shot of her in statue form, but it's a winner. Full body shot, taking up about a third of the page.

Paradise X [Marvel]

#5 [S] - The cover shows the petrified Excalibur team. The conclusion to the long running subplot when a Grey Gargoyle from another dimension is brought over to restore the forever-stoned heroes and heroines. Amongst them is Meggan and someone who looks like Spitfire.

Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man [Marvel]

#62 [S] - Gold Bug villain sprays geeky blond lab chick character (Debra Whitman) with an adhesive hardening gold dust. The effect is kind of ruined by horned rim glasses. The cover is nice, with the gold spray coating the title.

Power Man & Iron Fist [Marvel]

#93-94 [S] - Two of Iron Fist's friends (including Colleen Wing) are turned to glass by Chemistro. Some really poor continuity in the second issue (the guy gains and loses a beard from one issue to the next due to different artists) and sorta lackluster glass effect. We don't get to see them turned to glass or back, just the discovery of them transformed.

Punisher 2099 [Marvel]

#5 [S] *1/2 The Endymion Room makes its first appearance. It is filled with girls turned into statues by Fearmaster, who has immortalized them in statue form through his transforming touch. There are cute tags on their pedestals like "She had a heart of gold" and "A jewel of a woman". #9 [S] - Punisher's girlfriend turned to glass statue and is shattered into itty bitty pieces. The expression of fear on Kerri's face is somewhat disturbing... #16 [S] ***1/2 Endymion Room's second and final(?) appearance as the Fearmaster and the Punisher have a final showdown. The art of the statues is infinitely better in this issue than in the first appearance. Various types of statued women go crashing about as the Punisher blasts into the private domain of his arch-villain. I just wish the room were in EVERY issue of the series!

Purgatori-Empire [Chaos]

#3 [S] - (limited series) Purgatori's 'love slave' Sakarra, a fetching scantily clad woman, is turned into a statue for her treason in a very brief, but nice bit. The pedestal with her on display on the last page is great, the coloring (mainly her ambiguous skin color [is she stone? or not?] and red-eyes kind of detract from the image).

Purgatori-Love Bites [Chaos]

#1 [S] - (limited series) Purgatori teases the living stone statue of Sakarra with a kiss, but the live statue only appears in two or so panels.

Quicksilver

#4 [F] - The Scarlet Witch, at a dining table during the Inhuman's welcome back banquet, appears to be frozen to Quicksilver, due to his accelerated perception of time. She appears immobile, with a fork held up to her open mouth for four panels or so. Would have been much better scene if we could have seen her in an action type movement!

Red Sonja [Marvel]

Moved to Marvel Feature.

Redfox [Valkyrie Press]

#20 [I] - A figure with the upper torso of a woman and the lower extremities of an animal gets frozen within a giant ice egg. This is not a bad scene.

Robin and Cindy Comix [Radio Comix]

#1 [S] - 28 pages of black and white ADULTS-only fun writen and drawn by Naga and published by Radio Comix. It features a few transformations, including an elf girl turned to stone (Just the aftermath, not the actual transformation).

Sabrina the Teenage Witch [Archie]

#39 [I] - The cover shows Sabrina magically making a Snow-Teen Witch which looks remarkably like a snow statue of herself. Similar to the Lois Lane cover but nothing inside the issue reflects the cover (yet again).

Savage Sword of Conan Magazine [Marvel]

#100 [S] - Cover by Joe Jusko of Conan and two gorgeous golden statue girls. Both are scantily clad, unfortunately, this does NOT appear anywhere within the magazine. Talk about false advertising.

Scooby Doo [DC]

#70 [S] - The cover shows a petrified Daphne carried on a wheelbarrow by Shaggy and Scooby. A basilisk is terrorizing the small town and Fred and Daphne get turned to stone...not. It's really a sculptor who creates duplicates, and the basilisk is a fake. The sculptor does note he had good models to work from, but we only get one panel of the Daphne statue.

Secret Defenders [Marvel]

#20 [S] - Dr. Strange deposits the soul and being of a woman in a statuette. Ehnh.

Secret Files: DCU Heroes [DC]

#1 [I] - One panel shot of teen heroine Inferno being frozen in a what-if the government had to take down the DCU heroes. Ok at best.

Secret Origins [DC]

#? [S] - Retelling of the origin of the Justice League of America when the Appellax aliens arrive to conquer. Part of Black Canary's leg turned to glass and she's turned to wood later on. Various background extras are turned to stone/glass/etc by the other aliens.

Sensation Comics [DC]

#11 [F] - Rebla, of the planet of Eros, creates a paralysis ray. She tests it on a willing subject who declares: "It works, Rebla. I'm paralyzed from my neck down! I can't move hand or foot!" Of course, the ray guns end up being used against many female government soldiers and Wonder Woman herself, who is not released from the effects of the ray because her super powers would threaten Rebla's schemes. Oh, those wacky 40's stories! Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #1. #21 [F] - Mad Crime Master uses ring with needle to inject Wonder Woman with paralyzing serum. She can't move or speak voluntarily (but can when ordered). Nice thought balloons of her confused as to her paralysis. Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #3.

The Sensational She-Hulk [Marvel]

#27 [s] ** She-Hulk is turned to stone by the Grey Gargoyle, who taunts her in her petrified state. Pretty good continuity for a few pages of her pose. She manages to shake off the effect (boo!).

Shades of Blue [Amp]

#9 [I] - Plain jane high school student Heidi gets frozen by the ice skating princess. The cover shows her frozen completely but in the story she's only frozen up to her waist for a few panels.

Shadow Lady [Dark Horse]

#15-18 [S] - This series features great manga art of petrified nude girls who are the victim of a madman who likes to turn them to stone for his collection. Exceptionally sexy work and tons of great shots and sequences of girls being turned into statues.

Silke [Dark Horse]

#1 [I] - Great full-page panel of the heroine frozen solid. She's only seen from the neck up, but it's a great wide-eyed shot of her face, frost and icicles hanging off her lips and hair…a great drawing that would have been arguably greater if we could see her killer bod frozen like that!

Spandex Tights Vol. 1 [Lost Cause]

#5 [F] - Dr Angela Peveecy and Tara, in disguise as Flex Woman and Spandex Girl, are paralyzed in ridiculous poses by Stupid Guy's raygun. Actual dialogue from the scene: "Stiffening!", "Contorting...into humiliating poses..." More crazy fun!

Spandex Tights Summer Fun, Cliff-hanging, Death Trap Bondage Special [Lost Cause]

# 1 [F] *1/2 Flex Woman and Spandex Girl encased in "injection mold" cake frosting device (pin-up only...this is sort of like them being frozen...) by Oo-La-la.

Spandex Tights Presents Black Spandex [Lost Cause]

#1 [F] - Flex Woman and Spandex Girl frozen under super strength layer of hairspray by Prima Donna for the "hold that lasts--forever".

Spandex Tights Vol. 2 [Lost Cause]

#1 [F][S] - Spandex Girl and Flex Woman are gooped, then frozen and encased in hardened phlegm before the ingenious Heflin is able to free them. There is a flashback to Dr. Peveecy and Tara frozen by Stupid Guy's raybeam while impersonating the Aerobic Duo (see Vol. 1, #5 entry). #4 [S] - Cover parody of Star Wars with Flex Woman encased in carbonite & Spandex Girl frozen in ice. The scenes happen in the interior contents, as well. A REALLY great looking cover. #6 [F] - In a flashback to the events preceding Black Spandex #1, we get to see the events which led up to, and beyond, the Aerobic Duo being fully encased in hardened layers of hairspray from the devious Prima Donna.

Spandex Tights-The Lost Issues [Lost Cause]

#1 [F] - Much like a director's cut, or special edition of the original Lycra Woman and Spandex Girl #1 with new dialogue and artwork. The Aerobic duo is immobilized by Prima Donna's gel-cap gun. Second story features Madame Adhesive and her glue gun. The cover features the heroine duo finding their earlier incarnations in mannequin like states in the attic! #2 [I] - An enhanced-reprint of Lycra-Spandex #2 which features the frosty Lady Ice who freezes Flex Woman and Spandex Girl in their tracks. The last panel of the second story features Stupid Guy paralyzing the heroines in mockeries of their heroic stances. There is a brand new backup pinup of the Aerobic Duo being frozen too, done by our very own cmq.

Spicy Tales [Eternity]

#4 [M] - Reprint of 1936 SPICY DETECTIVE Sally the Sleuth story with waxworks.

Starfems [AC]

#1 [F] - Galaxy Girl Stormy Tempest is enveloped in 'acrilo' gas, a foam which encases her in an unbreakable plastic 'caccoon'. She doesn't look like she's frozen though, as her pose moves and she can think and see and speak.

Starfleet Academy [Marvel]

#8 [S] - Female ensign is turned into some sort of metallic statue by Charlie "X" Evans. Nice continuity of her pose in multiple panel scenes. Wonder why he didn't do it during that Classic Trek episode? Extra points for the artist not changing the frozen Li's pose throughout the book!

Star Trek (original series) [DC]

#? [I] - Admiral Kirk and crew are trapped in a vision of Dante's inferno brought to life. It has a scene with a crewwoman frozen in ice. She's perceived to be nude. (And she's not really as is revealed many issues later!)

Superboy (original series) [DC]

#47 [S] - From the Dial H for Hero backup, Vicki (as "Venus the Flying Trap") gets taken out by Metalliferro-- Poor Vicki-she looks like a giant hood ornament under her chrome coating. #114 [S] - (July 1964) Superboy has a nightmare about using the "agra ray" to turn Lana Lang into a crystal statue. It turns out that it was all a Red Kryptonite nightmare and didn't really happen.

Superboy and the Ravers [DC]

#5 [S] - A Christmas episode. Superboy and one of the females, Aura, had to rescue a teammate that had run into the Scavenger at a junkyard. As they approached, Superboy stepped on a tripwire and set off a "Medusa Bomb" that turned him, the girl, and Rex the Wonder Dog to stone. A couple of good shots of the statues in there.

Superfriends [DC]

#27 [F] - Wonder Woman and the other Superfriends are encased in solidified water by aliens using a beam which hardens, but doesn't freeze the liquid around them. Unfortunately, Wonder Woman is in some baggy space/sea suit and the scene really isn't much. Reprinted in Superfriends tpb.

Supergirl (original series) [DC]

#5 [F] - Backup features Zatanna's first appearance.  In her quest to find her lost father, she uses a spell to split herself into identical twins to search two places at once.  The spell backfires on her and she becomes paralyzed at attention  in two different locations. The hawks find her, each thinking her to be a painted statue of a girl at first! They carry her stiffened selves back to base, where Zatanna is re-integrated and made whole again. Pretty nice classic stuff. #8 [S] - Supergirl is possessed by the spirit of Medusa and gains gorgon-like hair. No, she doesn't look at her reflection in a mirror but instead turns a couple of JLA heroes to stone temporarily.

Supergirl (current series) [DC]

#37 [I] - When Hell freezes over, Supergirl investigates and is almost frozen over herself. She's mostly covered with frost and ice and not totally frozen stiff. #44 [S] - Cover image of Supergirl as a marble statue being worshipped. No statue transformation or anything else inside. #46 [I] - Comet accidentally freezes his evil ally, Blithe, into a block of ice. Nice facial reaction of surprise, but the scene isn't really anything to write home about.

Superman (original series) [DC]

#19 [S] - Lois Lane is turned to stone by a bunch of gangsters! Supes, in anger, beats up the goons but tips her over and smashes her into pieces. Oh, did I mention it was all a dream? Reprinted in Superman Archives #5 #74 [S] - Cover illustrating Lex Luthor aiming a petrifying ray at Supes. Poor Lois is already completely statued next to him in a sundress and hat! Only a few panels of petrifaction inside, I'm afraid. The ray is among a batch of weapons from a vault filled with Kryptonian technology and can transform a person to stone as long as the beam is shined on her. Story is true to the cover (for once), but of course the good guys escape from their stony predicament. #101 [S] - Superman has a crazy hoola-hoop stuck around him called the "Rainbow Doom" that turns everything around him, including Lois Lane, to glass. Not sure if it in fact happens inside the comic. #365 [F] - Supergirl, turned evil, pursues a shrunken-down Superman in his Fortress of Solitude. He tricks her into flying in front of one of the alien zoo creatures' paralyzing ray, turning her into a stiffened statue! She's paralyzed in a flying pose, arms in front of her and is carried by Supes in one panel, totally stiff! #375 [S] - Lana Lang turned to stone by villainess, who frames an alien superhero, Vartox. Supes discovers the villainess' scheme, and in repentance later pulls the effect to herself. Lana's petrified pose is nice, a quasi-kneeling with her arms outstretched, but they goofed and colored her pants black in her petrified state.  Nice consistency between panels of her pose and has a dramatic cover, but the pose is of her lying down.

Superman (second series) [DC]

#11 [M] - Mr. Mxyzptlk, in disguise as a being from "yonder" (in a hilarious send up of Marvel Comics' Secret Wars' Beyonder) turns Lois Lane into a mannequin as an "exchange" when he brings a store mannequin to life and plucks her from the display window. Very nice look on the frozen Lois' face, and she's wearing a bikini too. Extra points for that! #137 [F] - The Superman of 2999 meets other futuristic versions of the JLA, including a Supergirl of the future.  They are all paralyzed by a brainy villain who uses his superior brainpower to literally cause them all to become unable to move!

Superman Adventures [DC]

#590 [S] - Features Tina (Platinum) of the Metal Men. #29 [S] - Cover shows Bizarro with a seemingly petrified Lois Lane (actually supposed to be an imperfect duplicate of her, but it is more statue-like).

Superman: The Man of Steel [DC]

#126 [S] - Supes has to deal with a group of evil gods, one of whom has a giant golden servant named Midas. Guess what he does? While Superman mentions that he's turning people to gold, we only see one woman turned into a golden statue in one panel. Oh, Well.

Superman/Wonder Woman-Whom Gods Destroy [DC]

#4 [S] - In an Elseworlds storyline, WW escapes from Nazi-esque pursuers with a Midas mask which turns her female pursuer to gold. If this was made more clear in the artwork, it would have been a keeper!

Supreme [Maximum]

#48 [S] - Filled with homages to old classic Superman stories, one features a 40's era Glory, Supreme, et al turned to stone by the Basilisk in a one page cover homage. Glory is wearing her old-fashioned 40's style outfit.

Synn, Girl from LSD (one-shot) [AC]

#1 [F] - Synn in her go-go dancer outfit is frozen in suspended animation by an evil scientist who is doing experiments. This is her origin story, but when it was retold in a future issue of Femforce, she isn't cryogenically frozen before she gains her powers. Well, at least we have this one.

Tales to Astonish [Marvel]

#34 [S] - A mad scientist tries to create a growth ray but instead creates a ray that turns anything to stone! He gets the brilliant idea of becoming a rich and famous sculptor by turning people to stone and puts a want ad for a model with no family, etc, who will miss her. A model arrives at door and he petrifies her instantly. But, of course, in the twist ending the ray is activated again, restoring her but turning him to stone forever.

Tales of Suspense (Iron Man) [Marvel]

#45 [I] - (Sept. 1963) Jack Frost freezes first a bank teller in a nice scene and then Pepper Potts in an OK scene. There's a fair shot of Pepper and Happy frozen in a block if ice on the cover.

Tarot - Witch of the Black Rose [Broadsword]

#8 [S] - There is a transformation scene where a young girl becomes a nude wooden statue in a forest. The story title is "Raven Hex-Return of the Dark Witch".

Tarot [Broadsword]

#16 [S] - A lifesized cookie woman is brought to life, frosted on her private parts with icing. Pretty gory stuff in here too though. #17 [I] - A mischevious Frost Fairy ices nipples and tongue of Raven, and then some living snowmen abduct Tarot and Raven by embedding their naked bodies inside their frozen snow selves. Some ice bondage scenes but no true freezes.

10th Muse-Rena Mero [Image]

#4 [S] - Dawn, a pretty redheaded friend of Emma (the 10th Muse) is turned to stone by the Gorgon Medusa. Too few scenes of her (all above the neck) unfortunately after being petrified. #5 [S] - Only a one panel followup of the story from last issue featuring the petrified girl seen only in profile (mostly her face). #8a [S] - Another couple panel followup of the petrified duo finally being restored to normal. Pretty disappointing, but the Medusa character apparently is going to continue in the book so there might be hope.

Thor (current series) [Marvel]

#46 [S] - Thor Girl is turned to stone by the Grey Gargoyle in a great series of panels. She's shattered into itty-bitty pieces right after, but the multi-panel transformation of flesh to stone is perfectly captured. #47 [S] - Thor Girl is petrified on the cover by the great Grey Gargoyle. No statue, just pieces seen inside the book. Disappointing. #48-49 [S] - Thor Girl's petrified fragments continue to be carted across town by Thor until she is restored. No statue pics. No good reason to pick up these issues.

Titans (current series) [DC]

#25 [I] - Dark Angel, the villainess who has plagued Wonder Girl/Troia over the many years, is frozen by Tempest. She's coated in a layer of ice that still reveals her shapely curves and is carried away. Another artist later depicts the frozen Angel as if she's in a block of ice.

Tomb Raider [Top Cow]

#24 [I] - Original cover featured a petrified Lara Croft, the title of the story was 'Medusa's Garden' but the story and eventual published cover featured nothing whatsoever related to Medusa. (Original premise : "Lara must master skills she's never dreamed she had-Or spend eternity in stone, among the victims of Medusa's Garden." That would've been nice...

Twilight Zone [Goldkey]

#7 [S] - (May 1964) Two archeologists find the shield of Perseus which has the image of Medusas' face on it. One tries to use it as a weapon, but he gets stoned. One to two women get stoned in the book. The best thing is the cover where a woman wearing a low cut dress is turned into a marble statue.

Uncanny X-Men [Marvel]

#? [F] - Storm is frozen and encased in a pillar of amber during Proteus' rampage through a small town in Great Britain. Reprinted in Classic X-Men #33. #? [F] - Dark Phoenix telekinetically freezes the X-Men, turning them into 'living statues'. It's not as good as it sounds, cause they just end up floating there at attention. #145 [S] ** Storm turned to chrome by Doctor Doom robot. This one is pretty cool, since Doom changes her into organic chrome, but the effect doesn't change her costume, just her skin. This issue only shows the transformation. #146 [S][A] *** Doom puts Storm on a little display dais in this issue with a sheer cloth outfit covering the taboo parts of her anatomy. Doom also has an android Storm, who takes her face mask off in one panel. #147 [S] - Conclusion of Storm as a chrome statue. Reprinted in Classic X-Men #49-51 #160 [F] - Kitty Pryde encased in a big crystal. Reprinted in X-Men #64. #161 [S] - A Jewish girl is comatose because she believes she has been turned to gold in her mind. Very brief one panel scene with melted gold-like feet. If I'm not mistaken, she would later be the mother to Legion, Professor X's son. #250 [F] - Dazzler is covered with the membrane secreted by Worm and is paralzyed. #354 [I] - Sauron's hypno power convinces Iceman that Jubilee (dressed in an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny pink polka-dot bikini!) is a villain, and he freezes her, from about the chest down...pretty good looking art and coloring effect...would prefer more views of her body inside the ice though. #383 [S] - Sketch creates restraints by drawing the X-Men (including Phoenix Jean Grey and Storm) in metallic statue-like encasements. They're put up for auction in their statue-like state. Art is so-so, it could have been a lot better than it ended up looking. #422 [I] - Vindicator of Alpha Flight finds herself encased in Iceman's freezeblast. Her head is the only thing visible, but you can't see any of her body inside the ice except for a silhouette in one panel. Not very X-citing. Annual #? [I] - Amanda Sefton, Nightcrawler's girlfriend is turned into an ice statue by her sorcerer mother during Nightcrawler's torment in a Dante-esque Inferno ordeal.

Unstable molecules [Marvel]

#2 [F] - In the comic within the comic, the scantily clad Vapor Girl is strapped down to a table by aliens who use an 'atomic manipulator ray' to paralyze her. A second blast separates her mind from her body and makes her a slave to the aliens. Hokey Golden-Age homage, but not much to see.

Vault of Horror [DC]

#2 [S] - First story of this issue features an artist, an electroplating machine and an attractive, although unfaithful female model. You do the math. The end is ultimately disturbing, yet this issue is still quite a bit of fun.

Warlock and the Infinity Watch [Marvel]

#20 [S] - The 'Goddess' who is causing all sorts of mayhem in the Marvel Universe is turned to a salt statue as Pip the Troll touches her cosmic egg and has his wish granted. Infinity War crossover.

Weird Science [EC]

#20 [I][F] - Reprinting the original EC story "50 Girls 50" with a plot by a man in a cryo-colony ship to have his way with all 50 girls in frozen stasis, then paralyzing them with his raygun and eliminating them through a second cryo-freeze. Has been reprinted in comic form as well as in hardcover compilations.

Wetworks [Image/Top Cow]

[S] - Not really statue/freeze type stuff, but the team members are all covered in this gold skin/alien symbiote which makes them look golden!

Wildstorm Swimsuit '97 Special [Image]

[S] - The first pinup is a huge bodyshot of a topless Fairchild being scrubbed down or something by these little green aliens. What's intriguing about this is that if you look at it the right way, it looks like they're putting some sort of stuff ON her or turning her to marble, as most of her body is pristine white from the neck down. The expression on her face fits a marbleizing effect too, but I don't think that's what the artist intended. Ambiguous enough though.

Wolverine [Marvel]

#115 [F] - Continuation of story begun in X-men #65, Storm encased in hardened polymer. Only one good panel of her in it and we don't get to see her released from it (bummer!). #125 [F] - Kitty Pryde is coated, by the nefarious Viper, with a resin which hardens and prevents her from phasing or moving! She stays statue-like till Jubilee uses her fireworks to blast the hardened coating off of her.

Wonder Woman (original series) [DC]

#2 [S] - Wonder Woman is encased in a pillar of gold (up to her neck). It sounds better than it looks. We don't get to see anything other than her bursting out of the prison. Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #2. #4 [S] - The Mole Men use paralyzing shackles and plates on the phosphorescent-painted Amazon and her pal Paula in their bid to enslave the surface women. Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #2. #5 [F] - Dr Psycho's birdcage trap causes a paralyzing current that holds Wonder Woman's body rigid. He then tries to remove her astral spirit while she's paralyzed. Kinky. Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #3. #7 [I][F] - Wonder Woman breaks Steve Trevor out of a trap but spills liquid air over her body which freezes her stiff! Great continued pose as she's carried out horizontally by the Holiday Girls and put into a chamber which reheats her body. Oh if only Lynda Carter did this bit...Second story has Wonder Woman paralzyed in a form-fitting metal mesh that "paralyzes her head to toe" and she's paralzyed yet again in a nice 2 panel bit as she tries to break free from her captors. Reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives #3. #32 [S] - War Lord Uvo from the planet Uranus uses his Kal-C-M ray to turn Wonder Woman into stone. Miraculously, due to the fact that the ray can't penetrate the "new Amazon-material" of her boots, she is able to tip herself forward and get Uvo to shoot her with another (curing!) dose of the ray. #? [I] - Polar offshoot of Paradise Island troubled by wacky Seal Men who freeze the Amazons in blocks of ice for later use as slaves. (The Amazons, for some reason, run around in the Artic wearing flowery bathing suits. OK by me. Wonder Woman, alas, remains flexible.) Reprinted in hardcover comics book (name?). #72 [S] - Wonder Woman is turned into a "solid gold figure-incapable of movement" by the evil mole-gildings. She is still able to think and command her invisible plane to take her closer to the center of the Earth and melt her golden shell. #231 [F] - Wonder Woman trapped in a pyramid shaped glass, nice pose. She's not frozen, but the expression on her face coupled with the pose is dang close enough for me!

Wonder Woman (current series) [DC]

#24 [S] - A television camera girl is turned to stone by the gorgon Medusa's sister, Euryale, during a mass destruction of Boston. #38 [S] - Wonder Woman, dressed in her Amazon skirt variation outfit, is turned into a wooden figure bound to the great tree beneath Themiscyra. Intrepid reporter Lois Lane discovers the immobilized Amazon. #39-40 [S] - Conclusion of wooden figure storyline. #76 [S] - Cool golden Wonder Woman statue on cover. The statue is created by Circe to destroy the Amazons and is found washed up on the shore of Themiscyra. #92 [S] - Amazons Venelia and Artemis are turned to stone by the gorgon Medusa. Nice full page shot of Venelia, but a tiny panel of only Artemis' face. Reprinted in "The Contest" trade paperback. #97 [F] **1/2 Wonder Woman (Diana) is paralyzed by some spray from the Joker's flower. Nice "Fear of God" expression, if you're into that... #110 [F] ** Wonder Woman encased in a solid, amber-like cube created by a Sinestro replica's power ring. She comments on how the imprisoning substance is beginning to penetrate her nostrils, mouth and...? #116 [I] ** Wonder Woman is frozen in an ice-block along with Champion. Also, another woman is frosted over by the same aliens. #117 [I] ** Opens with a cool splash page of Wonder Woman still frozen in ice. #121 [S] - Wonder Woman and Amazons turning to stone due to the absence of the Greek Gods. Nice cover of Amazons turned into statues. More "had better things to do this month" Byrne art. #147 [S] - (Aug. 1999) The gods of Olympus appear to have been transformed into statuary. The results are definitely so-so. #147 [S] - Dark Angel, the tormenter of Wonder Girl, is turned to stone by the severed head of Stethno. Wonder Girl (or rather Troia) promptly smashes her foe into itty-bitty pieces. It's adequetely done, but not very spectacular. #183 [S] - Great cover of kneeling Wonder Woman turned to granite or clay. It's a cover-only deal though, as she's threatened to be turned to clay inside but is not. #191 [S] - Scylla, a hydra-like beast, turns numerous Amazons on Paradise island to statues of marble, silver and bronze. The Roman warrior who accompanies the Scylla brags the island will have "the loveliest statues in all the world." Lots of pics of toga babes in all sorts of statued poses. Artemis gets to be turned into a gold statue for her "blazing valor". Pretty good stuff!

Wonder Woman vs. the Mole Men Coloring Book [Whitman?]

[F] - Yeah, I'm pushing the envelope again, but this kiddy book features an underground race of mole people who like to paint their women flourescently. They kidnap a bunch of United Nations women, and Wonder Woman and the Amazon, Paula. They use charged electrical plates which paralyze Wonder Woman when she tries to escape and force her to dance or be paralyzed...This was an updated, modernized look at the original WW#4.

World's Finest [DC]

#257 [S] - A homeless woman finds an animal that can grant wishes turns everyone in Metropolis to stone, unfortunately not enough statued women. The best thing is a wrap around cover where she's surrounded by a lot of statued people. #261 [S] - "The Case of the Runaway Sculpture" Mary Marvel in her alter ego of Mary Batson gets turned into a plaster statue. She returns to normal, but some really nice shots of her in a tight turtleneck and jeans and great pose continuity combined with a great expression make this a keeper.

Xena-Warrior Princess (2 issue limited series) [Topps]

#1 [S] - Gabrielle and others are turned to stone when the Gorgon sisters (Stheno and Euryale) exact their revenge on Perseus. Xena must get the cure or in one month, Gabrielle's injuries in petrified form will be fatal.

Xena-Warrior Princess and the Olympics (3 issue limited series) [Topps]

#2 [S] - Found this one accidentally when searching for first issue featuring the Gorgon sisters. The cover features a statue of Xena hurling a discus. Never seen the interior contents, but would assume that there is no other statue content on this issue at all.

X Factor Annual [Marvel]

#4 [F] *1/2 Jean Grey frozen in stasis and tractor beamed into the sky with the Beast hanging onto her. Very nice glassy-eyed expression, but a boring pose.

X-Force [Marvel]

#75 [S] - Danielle Moonstar, aka Mirage, is covered with liquid earth which hardens, leaving her frozen immobile except for her voice. The Black Queen taunts her statue-like form. #? [S] - Ok, the first one isn't that good but the next one might be. The whole team is encased in circuitry and the look sorta like yellow statues. One pic at the end of the first one.

X-man [Marvel]

#57 [S] - Cover shows Phoenix (Jean Grey) as a statue, but this scene doesn't appear in the story.

X-Men Archives [Marvel]

[S] - Graphic Novel.

X-men and the Micronauts [Marvel]

#1 [S] - Marionette partially encased in a rock asteroid (ala carbonite). Only a couple of panels of this one.

X-men [Marvel]

#2 [S] ** The whole team is turned to various states of crumbling stone on the cover (with Magneto and Prof. X in the foreground). Two of the team, including Psylocke and Rogue are turned to chrome by the Acolyte Chrome who has placed them into a "transitory statue-state". Moira McTaggert gets metal "skin" from Magneto later. #65 [F] - Storm is encased in an expanding polymer which encases her ala an insect in hardened amber by Bastion's Sentinels.

X-men 2099 Vol 1 [Marvel]

#1 [I] - (Aug. 1996) Titled "Oasis": Shakti is placed in a cryo stasis tube to be frozen for 350 years. Contains a couple of OK scenes.

X-men: The search for Cyclops [Marvel]

#1 [S] - (mini-series) You're going to have to enjoy the cover only on this one cause there's nothing inside remotely resembling Phoenix (Jean Grey) turned to stone on the cover. This is akin to the X-Man #57 cover, which also featured a stoney Jean...it's too bad, the artist would've done a great job!

X-men: Ronin [Marvel]

#1 [I] - (1 of 5) Manga styled Pyro (looks more like Jubilee though!) is frozen by the manga style Iceman in a blast of ice which covers her entire body. Nice panels of her frozen before the White Queen telepathically jumpstarts her and the girl breaks out of the ice encasement.

X-men Unlimited [Marvel]

#31 [S] - (1 of 5) X-Man turns the asian mutant Kiza who can turn things to gold (it's not shown, sorry) into a golden statue of herself, as a memento for the monks of a local shinto shrine. It's pretty brief, could have been much more.

Xtreme X-men [Marvel]

#4? [S] - A statue of Psylocke is unveiled in master adversary Vargas's home. It's semi-painted and he speaks of it almost as if she was in fact turned into that statue (she was killed last issue). It's pretty enticing even though she's not. #9 [S][F] - Lifeguard, a female gold-armor semi-Colossus character is frozen stiff by Lady Mastermind, who tears off her 'costume' and reveals Lifeguard in a bathing suit (ala Pam Anderson). Lifeguard has a panel where she silently thinks "I can't move!". Great art. #20 [I] - In the icy dawn, a sort of disturbing image of four men and three women, who turn up stark naked and soaking wet on a glacier and freeze to death...lots of itty bitty pics of their frozen bodies plus one big panel of them iced...grim. #21 [I] - Features only a few panels of the same scene.

XXXenophile [Palliard Press]

#4 [S] - "Now Museum Now You don't" features a female security guard having sex with a quartet of female statues who come to life. One comments "...besides, being a statue is more pleasant than you would think." Nice idea. Reprinted in one of the XXXenophile collection trade paperbacks.

Young Heroes in Love [DC]

#9 [I] - Bonfire coated in ice during her lovemaking with Frostbite. Nice idea, though she doesn't get permanently frozen, the parts of her touched by Frostbite are iced over (breasts, thighs, etc.).

Young Justice [DC]

#14 [I] - The misty heroine Secret is frozen solid when her gaseous form is affected by the same demonic energy that has frozen Hell over.
