The long week continues with the Blonde in a Red Dress invited to a midnight bonfire party.

Did Fay Wray ever have days like this?
And suddenly: Giant green mutant Nazi gorillas.

Here’s a rare treat!
From the look on the face of the Blonde in a Red Dress, she’s reading the cover blub and wondering why she’s stuck strapped to a mad scientist’s torture bench rather than having whimsical adventures in the “Davy the Wishmaster” backup story.

A bad case of the Mondays (Now with “Extra! War!”)
Sigh! What a way to start a week: stumbling over the gates to a fiery underworld and being attacked by a legion of infernal demons toting pitchforks and… handguns?

College Beanie Flashback
Flashback week! The Blonde in a Red Dress seldom talks about her college years — probably because they tended to involve stuff like being taken hostage by glowing radioactive mummies with rayguns.
Well, either that, or maybe she avoids the subject because of her questionable fashion sense at the time. I’m glad she ditched the striped beanie.
Useless comic trivia note: the hero on the cover is called “Lash Lightning” in some issues, and other times is called “Flash Lightning”.

Another typical Friday night
“If you guys don’t mind, I’m just going to hang out down here in the corner and let you fight it out amongst yourselves for a change. I’ve had a really long week.”

A bad hair day
It looks like the Blonde in a Red Dress is just a hop, skip and jump back to dry land and away from the pursuing battleship. Now if only she had the invulnerable-hairstyle powers of the superhero from yesterday’s cover.
Speaking of superheroes: Looking up the details of the issue, it appears that this newly arrived hero is known as “The Black Cowl”. I feel silly for not realizing that right away — it’s so obvious, what with his bright blue and red costume.

A long week continues
Awakening adrift at sea, the Blonde in a Red Dress gives an envious glare at “Dr. Strange” for whatever mysterious superpower allows his amazingly stylish hair to remain impervious even to the churning ocean waves and incoming torpedoes.

Naptime continues
Somehow yesterday’s naptime and ambulance ride ended up in the lair of weird ghoulish monsters, with a pit of green mystery liquid and a superhero in tiny pants.
(On the other hand, the Blonde in Red should probably be grateful for his presence, considering the other alternatives for help in this book would be “Slim Jim” or the “Twinkle Twins”.)
Yup, if I was having a week like this, I’d probably try to sleep through it too.

Green Mask meets Red Dress
At this point, the Blonde in Red should seriously consider having handles added to her dress, given how often she’s been carried like luggage.
Not sure if she’s still unconscious from yesterday’s cobra venom, or if she’s just taking a nap at the end of a long week.
