The Clown is Back Again!
The Blonde in a Red Dress, pinned beneath rubble (and cover blurbs), is waiting to be rescued by costumed heroes, who are themselves tied up and waiting for yet another hero to rescue them too?
No wonder the robot in the background is watching this farce play out with haunted, deer-in-the-headlight eyes. Alas, if only there was someone competent who could set him free from the cruel masters who take joyrides in his hollowed-out torso!
(Or… maybe the robot just really hates clowns, and is shellshocked from reading the upper cover blurb?)

United States Secret Service Agent?
Another name to add to her list of aliases! According to her exceptionally large ID card, the undercover Blonde in a Red Dress was going by the name of “Jane Dickson” prior to being captured by… um… a Nazi, a Japanese soldier with vampire fangs, and some guy with a green skull for a head?

Vanishing Cream
Stretching the rules for inclusion on this blog, as the blondeness of the invisible wearer of the Red Dress cannot be determined. But at least there’s still a Blonde and a Red Dress together on the cover.

The Bouncer
A hero leaps into action as The Blonde in Red recoils in horror! (Not entirely sure if her horror is because she’s being threatened by gun-toting gangsters, or because she just noticed there’s a man in a very tiny skirt leaping over her head.)

Flags vs Tombstones
The Blonde in Red really should have learned by now to stay away from graveyards.

Dedicated to Uncle Sam’s Fighting Men
In this issue: Rip Carson, Tiger Girl, Hooks Devlin, Senorita Rio, Shark Brodie… “and others”?
Sad. It’s the equivalent of ending the Gilligan’s Island song with “and all the rest”.

When the Avon lady is a Super Sleuth
In addition to her many other talents, the Blonde in Red also occasionally got to show off her mad sharp-shooting skillz.

Serious business
Not content to simply be typecast as a action/adventure damsel in distress, the Blonde in Red had her agent keep an eye out for more serious roles as well — even if it sometimes just ended up as a stern-faced cameo for a staring contest with “Doctor Bobbs”.
