The ubiquitous cover girl of the Golden Age of comics!
Who cares if the flying superhero can escape the foreign spies — what about the Blonde In A Red Dress about to be dogpiled by them? And then attacked by a giant drill. That shoots aerosol gas weapons.
If only a giant flying eyeball were there to help, but no, he’s busy projecting the cover title logo! (I bet our heroine wishes she still had her ray gun handy.)
The Blonde In A Red Dress gets herself a ray gun just in time to help deal with some robots that wandered off the set of a Dr. Seuss book.
While the superhero “busts the rackets”, the intrepid Blonde In A Red Dress gazes enviously at his handy dandy flame-throwing ray-gun.
Iconic jungle heroine “Sheena” was more well-known for her leopard-print leotard look, but on a few early comic covers her role was filled by that all-purpose understudy: The Blonde In A Red Dress.
A flashback to our heroine’s early years in a British boarding school. A few schoolyard bullies were just a warmup for a girl who would later face down gangsters, wild animals, monsters, and mysterious giant flaming eyeballs.
The Blonde In A Red Dress needs far more than just nine lives, considering her death-defying lifestyle.
Yup, a hero like a ghost (specifically, a more famous purple-suited Ghost Who Walks) but in an off-brand knockoff sort of way.
The Blonde in Red really needs to talk to her agent. If she has to put up with the captive-jungle-sacrifice Fay Wray homage, it should have at least have been done with “Duke in Gorilla Land” as the featured cover image instead of this Fantoman guy.
Huh. Apparently, the “aliens” referenced on the cover are the foriegn gangster types sneaking across the border with parachutes and tommy guns, NOT the fiery giant flying eyeball shooting magical ray beams.
I’m hoping the Blonde In A Red Dress is filling the role of “Detective” on this cover, because the other title descriptors of “Keen” and “Funny” don’t quite seem accurate to the situation.
A green rhinoceros in honor of St. Patrick’s Day? Even if so, it’s still the worst jungle safari vacation ever. She should totally demand a refund from the travel agency.
I love how her facial expression while tied to the back of a rampaging rhino isn’t fear or confusion, but simply resigned annoyance.
…Or maybe it was that spear plus a punch to the jaw.
Apparently our heroine’s jungle safari vacation is still going pretty much as expected.
