While the superhero “busts the rackets”, the intrepid Blonde In A Red Dress gazes enviously at his handy dandy flame-throwing ray-gun.

Queen of the Jungle
Iconic jungle heroine “Sheena” was more well-known for her leopard-print leotard look, but on a few early comic covers her role was filled by that all-purpose understudy: The Blonde In A Red Dress.
You shan’t keep me out!
A flashback to our heroine’s early years in a British boarding school. A few schoolyard bullies were just a warmup for a girl who would later face down gangsters, wild animals, monsters, and mysterious giant flaming eyeballs.

The Blonde In A Red Dress needs far more than just nine lives, considering her death-defying lifestyle.
Like a ghost!
Yup, a hero like a ghost (specifically, a more famous purple-suited Ghost Who Walks) but in an off-brand knockoff sort of way.
The Blonde in Red really needs to talk to her agent. If she has to put up with the captive-jungle-sacrifice Fay Wray homage, it should have at least have been done with “Duke in Gorilla Land” as the featured cover image instead of this Fantoman guy.
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.
Raging rhino
A green rhinoceros in honor of St. Patrick’s Day? Even if so, it’s still the worst jungle safari vacation ever. She should totally demand a refund from the travel agency.
I love how her facial expression while tied to the back of a rampaging rhino isn’t fear or confusion, but simply resigned annoyance.
Twas beauty that killed the beast…
…Or maybe it was that spear plus a punch to the jaw.
Apparently our heroine’s jungle safari vacation is still going pretty much as expected.

It’s a jungle out there
Sure a jungle safari vacation sounds like fun, but knowing her luck so far, our heroine really should have been expecting something like, say, an attempted kidnapping by Plant Monsters from the Unknown.

Pleading the Fifth?
How else is the ever-mysterious Blonde in a Red Dress going to plausibly maintain “My Secret Life” despite being called to testify as a witness in court?
