| Baffling the way the distressed blonde in red disappeared with the new comics code - here she is in one of her last appearances – though the cover appears to have no connection to the stories within
Gruesomely great art throughout with the best story IMHO being Slaves of the Orchid Goddess – could have been easily expanded into more. |
|
| LOL the Gold Digger is sentenced to hell for being a homewrecker who drove broken hearts to suicide. I enjoyed the corny opening story a lot for how much style it had. |
