I spy with my giant eye…
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.
Fasten your seatbelts
That is, fasten your seatbelts unless you’re a death-defying international undercover woman of mystery, in which case you can just go ahead and balance on a car’s bumper as it slams into a wall at full speed before leaping to safety at the last moment.
Hopefully.
Undercover girl
Oh good, Janet Lee escaped her fate from yesterday and lived to fight another day. And now she… wait, now her name is “Starr Flagg”?
I don’t understand. It’s almost as if an undercover international woman of mystery might be using more than one fake name!

Specifically, tied up over the top of an airplane. While being held at gunpoint. While the plane is on fire. And while another airplane strafes the crashing airplane with more gunfire.
