Undercover Girl does it all in heels and a backless gown! What a gal! |
|
Spot on, nenslo – Starr Flagg, what a gal indeed! – but let’s not be too hasty to dismiss sweet bespectacled Anne in The Case of the Hobbyhorse Homicide – she looks just like a girl I once knew (also called Anne strangely – is that spooky or what?).
A couple of fillers next and then Fallon of the FBI – great in your face visuals from Frank Guardineer! Lady Satan with her Bette Davis eyes is a Devil Doll of fiery intent keen to conjure favour with the Feds – will she succeed? |

Notes | This does not appear to be Guardineer's typical style. Compare with the final, signed, story in this issue. Whoever the penciller is each page appears to have a different inker. John Giunta's hand is suggested by page 2, possibly Ray Willner's on page 5, and surely Frank Frazetta inks page 6. |
