One thing for sure is,
after reading the books in this section you'll realize that ladies need to be treated with respect! But let's
start with a bit of screwball fun. You need look no further than Tippy, Babe, Candy, Winnie Winkle or failing all of them the Dizzy Dames.
The U.S. Army has allowed us access to Canteen Kate.
Although their sexiest member, she does seem to have her fair share of scrapes.
A symptom suffered by a few of our ladies including our very own television star, My Little Margie.
The youngsters don't want to be left out and there is a bunch of trouble from
Little Angel, Cutie Pie, Eva The Imp and Tuffy. Maybe they will grow out of it and
join our glamorous crime-fighting heroines, Brenda Starr, Jane Arden, Lady Luck,Phantom Lady
and the mystical Zara.
If you head into the jungle you may just meet Cavegirl or Nyoka.
If you are very lucky Sheena, Queen of the Jungle may grant you an audience.
That is providing Taanda, White Princess of the Jungle, has not swung down and snatched her crown. Out West there is only one babe in town, Firehair. But beware she is wild!
We have 123 titles and 1,526 issues in our 'Leading Ladies Category' for you to enjoy.
