Television’s longest running show, GUIDING LIGHT, is teaming up with Marvel Comics to produce a very special "Inside the Light" episode unveiling a new super powered character, to be broadcast Wednesday, Nov. 1 on the CBS Television Network. GUIDING LIGHT’S episode, titled "She’s a Marvel," written by headwriter David Kreizman, focuses on mild mannered and harried cop, mother and wife Harley Davidson Cooper, played by Beth Ehlers. Zapped by an electrical current, Cooper finds herself infused with the energy, and is able to channel it, giving her the powers of a superhero — levitation and electricity conduction. How will her new powers affect her life? Additionally, in a first for daytime television, Marvel Comics will release a "comic back-up" featuring some of Marvel’s mightiest heroes (and villains) who will descend on GUIDING LIGHT’S city of Springfield to determine if this new super powered being is friend or foe. The "back-up" is an eight-page addition to the following Marvel Comic books: (Oct. 25) "Civil War: Choosing Sides," "Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane 11," "Marvel Select Flip Magazine 18," "Marvel Tales Flip Magazine 17"; (Nov. 1) "Marvel Adventures Spider-Man 21," "Spider-Man And Power Pack 1," "Marvel Adventures Flip Magazine 18," "Marvel Heroes Flip Magazine 18"; (Nov. "Amazing Spider-Girl 2," "Franklin Richards: Happy Franksgiving!," "Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four 18"; (Nov. 15) "Ultimate Marvel Flip Magazine 19," "Ultimate Tales Flip Magazine 19." "Joining forces with Marvel is such a natural fit for us because comic books and soap operas have so much in common," says Kreizman. "Both feature long-running characters and larger-than-life stories that appeal to a loyal and passionate fan base. We hope that our viewers will be excited to see their favorites in the pages of a comic book and that Marvel fans will tune in to see how we put our twist on a classic superhero story. What working mom hasn’t wished for superpowers every now and then?"
