A simply terrific issue of Femforce, in which Lady Lugar gets the best of both Ms Victory and Blue Bulleteer. The first heroine is surprised by thugs and "easily shackled" to a Nazi spy balloon. Before she takes off, the comic cuts to a Blue Bulleteer story in which the titular heroine is tied to a post. When we com...
Bulletgirl and her mate (Bulletman) are investigating some roadside truck hijackings. Turns out the truck driver himself is part of the gang -- all in an effort to steal from his employer. As they investigate, both are KO'd with a head blow from a pipe wrench ("monkey wrench") -- ouch!! The splash page has a good bon...
Ghost and crossover guest Barb Wire are captured by a bunch of crazed menfolk, all under the direction of Max Cameron, Ghost's self-created arch-nemesis.

Valeria the Pirate is first abducted by the bear-like Olmac, then defeated and tied up by Tascela, Olmac's consort.
Great art and dialog highlight one of the best a...
At the risk of repeating something I've said before, I must start out by saying that Nyoka never had a reputation for being "top-shelf" GGA. Perhaps it was intentional that Fawcett wanted her legs to be skinny, and her bosom less than a C cup so they could fend off the fans of Frederick Wertham (he wrote Seduction of ...
Cameron Nemo captures Ghost, subjecting her to bondage and psychological torture until her friends come to her rescue.
'Ghost' was Dark Horse's entry to the prolific 90's "bad girl" genre, and many of Ghost's stories feature dark, slightly gothic horror themes. If memory serves, their tag line for the title was "She...
This appears to be the 'origin' story of how Black Phantom went straight...if there were girls running around like Black Phantom, the Wild West would have been a whole lot wilder...

Ajax-Farrell Publications revived the dormant but incredibly popular Phantom Lady in 1954 several years after Fox Publications retired her in 1949. Ajax could only keep her alive for 4 issues due to public pressure based on Frederick Wertham's book which contended that Phantom Lady (and all good girl art for that matt...
The Invaders was a Marvel title from the late 70's where they tried to recreate the "Golden Age" feel of the books produced during WWII. The character of Golden Girl was changed from Captain America's sidekick Betty Dean to a Japanese-American teenager Gweney Lou Sabuki..who disappeared after a brief run..she did get ...
Nyoka never disappoints! In this story an archeologist friend of hers spies on some pygmies to learn the secret of how they make shrunken heads. He believes he has discovered the secret, and rushes to tell Nyoka the good news, but is killed right in her presence by a flying spear before he can reveal the secret. As h...
Linda Turner, a beautiful, red-headed movie star, is the first Black Cat appearing in Harvey Publications comic books from 1941 to 1951. (Marvel's later platinum blonde version of the same name would first appear several decades later). Linda was a real eye turner (no pun intended), but Harvey Publications was always ...
As comic book publishers go, Magazine Enterprises had a fairly short-lived run, lasting from 1944 to 1956, and falling on hard times soon after the onset of the Comic Book Code. Ironically, I consider Black Phantom #1, which came out in 1954, the very year the troublesome code went into effect, (special note: no numb...
Here, Kaanga's normally passive mate Ann gets proactive for once, investigating some undersea ruins. Of course, sinister divers almost drown the jungle beauty until Kaanga rescues her. I've also thrown in a nice KO from another story in the same issue.

A rather obscure and undistinguished jungle girl, Jungle Lil lasted all of one issue for Fox in 1950. Big thanks to the folks at Digital Comics Museum for unearthing this!

In this issue, La Super Nena is wounded while escaping gangsters, gets bandaged up by El Rayo only to be captured, strung up and tortured. ...
