The ubiquitous cover girl of the Golden Age of comics!
Death Trap Week concludes with our heroine in danger of being burned at the stake… next to a bundle of dynamite… at a highly flammable petroleum refinery… while killer birds attack gunmen on rooftops and a guy in a fedora punches a guy in a sombrero…
Or in other words, just another typical Friday for the Blonde in a Red Dress.
Silver Streak Comics #23, Lev Gleason
The Blonde in a Red Dress is outraged that she wasn’t given proper safety goggles like everyone else in the room, prompting the Fighting Yank to continue his two-fisted crusade against those who would ignore proper safety regulations when testing Mad Science Death Rays.

If this was a modern action movie, someone would be making a quip about an “acid trip.”

The “Ocular Stab-o-matic Action Playset” was promptly recalled due to safety concerns.
V …- Comics #2, Fox Features
Gasp! Not only is this secret spy base filled with flammable oil drums and a hand-cranked girl-squishing gear wheel of doom, it also lacks proper safey railings! Good thing the Blue Beetle is here to punish those who flout proper safety regulations!
The Blue Beetle #12, Holyoke
The Blonde in a Red Dress is so relieved at her timely rescue by a vigilante heroine that she doesn’t even ask what a name like “Miss Fury” has to do with a costume that has cute cat ears on the cowl.

Considering how many times the Blonde in a Red Dress has had to play the damsel in distress for the heroes, it’s only fair that she gets to rescue them every now and then too.

C’mon heroes! You had one job! And yet you let the Blonde in a Red Dress get rescued from one rampaging robot just in time to get captured by another rampaging robot!

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?)
Super-Mystery Comics v3 #3, Ace
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?
