Charlton/DC artist Dick Giordano was particularly good at drawing pretty women, but I think his depiction of a "scarlet woman" (my word), name of Roja, on the cover of SARGE STEEL #7 is his best work. Of course it's a good drawing because of the combination of Roja's attire-ensemble, her silver-white hair and her wasp-waisted figure. But the combination of the seductive body pose and the predatory expression really sell Roja as a formidable femme fatale. (Sadly, Roja only made one other STEEL appearance and then got killed, rather than mounting numerous assaults on the metal-handed hero.)
