Golden Age Cover Gallery of the Blonde in a Red Dress
The Blonde in Red was disappointed to learn that her new dress ranked so low on the Helen-o-meter. (If Helen-of-Troy is the quantifiable beauty standard for launching one thousand ships, then launching only four canoes would register a score of only four Milli-Helens. That’s science!) Dotty #38, Ace
The Blonde in Red usually isn’t this ditzy. Maybe she’s just a bit loopy from the dry cleaning chemical fumes? Suzie #68, Archie/MLJ
The Blonde in Red spends the day at the fair relaxing out of her typical solid red uniform, and trying out an eye-searing mashup of checkerboard polkadots instead. (No wonder the poor kid holding the prize ribbon is so confused; he’s probably been half-blinded by the fashion mashup.) Hickory #5, Quality
The Blonde in a Red Dress has a vacation day off, but good ol’ Smilin’ Ed promised he’d find a suitable temp replacement. I’m sure the readers won’t even notice a difference! Buster Brown Comics #19, The Brown Shoe Company
Sorry for the delay in posting. The Blonde in a Red Dress got caught up in work while on vacation and was thus a little late getting back home from her globetrotting holiday. L’Agent IXE-13 (v2 #72)
The Blonde in Red finally returns home from her overseas vacation, after her flight was delayed by a case of “jet fury” (the airborne equivalent of “road rage”.) Jet Fury #17 (via Australian or New Zealand?)
The look on the face of the Blonde in a Red Dress is less “Love At First Sight” and more “Are we done posing for this cover yet? I hate Mondays.” Love At First Sight #6, Ace Magazines
The cover editor wasn’t satisfied with yesterday’s cover and insisted they keep trying the scene until they get it right. This made the Blonde in a Red Dress become even more bored. Real Love #26, Ace Magazines
It took all week to rehearse the scene, but the editor finally got the romantic cover scene he was hoping for. (Too bad it got wasted on a confusingly punctuated title like “Little Miss Nobody Wild — By Reputation And Other Fascinating Love Stories”) All Love #27, Ace Magazines
I can sympathize with the Blonde in a Red Dress trying to drown her sorrows in a giant ice cream sundae, but what I can’t quite figure out is her odd fashion choices on this cover. Love Letters #32, Quality Comics
