Chosen at random, this has a blonde-in-a-red-dress cover with the intriguing variant that the girl is a complementary green (and I don’t mean a follower of Greta Thunberg)
Looking at the adverts on the inside cover, I only have a dollar to spend and I’m torn between wanting to learn the dance steps for the shim-sham-shimmy or How to be the Life and Soul of the Party with Magic – which would you choose?
In Claws of the Green Girl (see above), Lance Storm faces off against Professor Zarno and his hypnotic crime-inducing drug – read this now, you know you WILL obey!
The Fantastic Dr Foo fools around with the Hovering Hand from the ancient east. Will the beast with five fingers grasp its opportunity or will the good doctor slap its wrist in good time? Read it and see.
Primeval Passions sounds like the kind of movie that might be worth watching on a cold winter’s night –and with blue-eyed blonde Queenie Starr in the lead role, how could it fail to please? The publicity stage tour begins well until Queenie’s co-star Lenore dies on stage (these rural audiences can be tough) “Ah, broken is the golden bowl! The spirit flown forever! Let the bell toll! - A saintly soul floats on the Stygian river,” as Poe put it regardless of span (in the poem Lenore – quick bit of culture thrown in gratis, don’t mention it) – but who was Lenore’s killer, there’s the rub?
