The ubiquitous cover girl of the Golden Age of comics!
“Tearing Lila from the plane, Samson plunged his mighty fist into the heart of the motor.” So, this time we learn that “Lila” is yet another of the many names of The Blonde in a Red Dress. Other than that — it’s just another day, with yet another near-death experience with aircraft.

Speaking of superheroes: Looking up the details of the issue, it appears that this newly… Continue reading A bad hair day
“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.” Top Notch #2 by MLJ
Flashback week! Like many celebrities, the Blonde in a Red Dress got her start as a child actor in commercials.
