CHESHIRE CATTING AROUND

 When the villainess Cheshire cats around, it's her victims that do a fade, be it fast or slow.

These all appeared in ACTION COMICS WEEKLY, and these particular issues only had one lousy punchout from a heroine, elf-eared Arisis Rrab clouting a flirty creep.

Then we're back to Hoodlum Girls as the Lantern takes on "Runaround Sue"-- no comment needed.

JUMBO THRILLS

 No scene like the cover of JUMBO 105 inside the comic. 

The Sheena story concerns the Jungle Queen contending with juvenile warriors, whom her mate calls "the Dead End Kids of the jungle." Along the way she beats up some more standard villains.

 

FROM HERE TO OBSCURITY

I had never noticed Fox Comics' ALL GREAT COMICS title, and I find it hilarious that the cover to issue 14 claims that any of these comic strip features (aside from BRENDA STARR) were "famous" even in 1947. There's no scene resembling the tough-girl fisticuffs in the "Surgeon Smith" feature, so it's almost certainly something that was whipped up to sell the book.

   Worthy of a quick look is the 2-page feature THE KRIME KIDS, whose format does not look like any sort of newspaper comic strip. In it, the mischievous brats first tease, and then venerate, the dynamic "Sweet Miss Carroll."

 

An issue of ALL GREAT designated only as "1945" on Comic Book Plus includes more obscurities, like "Pussy Katnip," a borderline superhero in the funny animal genre.

In a humor strip called "Bill Buster," Bill gets busted up by a tough girl named Mabel.

TERRA-RIZED

 

The Gold Key villainess (not the DC character) TERRA OF JERZ, who hands Mighty Samson a shocking time.  

SLAM THAT SPIRIT

 Sad to say, the splash showing Ellen trouncing the Spirit is merely symbolic, and the story's last page doesn't show her doing anything as violent as her girl-buddy, who gives the masked manhunter a good one in the labonza.

 

SWING OUT, NYOKA
