Yikes! I had no idea Mr. Whedon hosted such wild parties.

Same ol’ same ol’
The Blonde in Red should talk to her agent about her recurring appearances at “Top Notch Comics”, as they seem to already be running out of ideas: I think she might be tied to the same tree by the same villain and awaiting rescue by the same heroes as last time! Not even sure if the henchmen monsters count as being different, as they might just be the same werewolves at different points in their transformation.

What goes on here?
Still buffed from last week’s role as “the lady wrestler”, the Blonde in a Red Dress decided to do her own stunts during the action scenes in this issue’s wild cover involving a spiked-wheel-o-death run by a mishmash of crazy monstrous villains as she awaits rescue by… um… Generic Gun-Toting Man, and his sidekick Wrench-Wielding Boy?

A Sensational New Laugh Character
In an example of the lengths she’ll go in pursuit of her craft, the Blonde in a Red Dress spent months with a physical trainer bulking up for her role as “Daffy the Woman Wrestler”.
(Her agent originally promised her she’d be co-starring with “The Spirit”, but behind-the-scenes politics at the studio eventually led to a last-minute replacement with B-list hero “Midnight” as a stand-in.)

I have no mouth but I must kiss?
“The surprise of your life awaits you as Iron Jaw falls in love!”
(Wasn’t 100% sure if the coloring on this cover qualified as “blonde”, but the odd lighting of the scene seemed to put it close enough to strawberry blonde if you squint.)

Hold your nose
In spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of a Blonde in a Red Dress.
Or possibly to thoughts of pranks involving skunks.

This cover may be many things, but “Famous” and “Funny” would not have been my first choice of descriptors.

If we don’t hurry she’ll be a goner!
Some people were just never meant to be roommates.

A classic love triangle
Could this be the source of the eternal conflict between the Blonde in Red and the Redhead in Yellow?
(I just hope the boyfriend’s name isn’t Chekhov, because if so, I’d worry about those guns on the wall.)
