American Update: Quirky Corner – Triple Your Peril! Three lethal ladies for the Price of One!
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Our first visit to Quirky Corner for a little while! The February, 1956 issue of Quality’s Blackhawk was a triple-treat for fans of femmes fatales, as the international aviators battled not one, not two, but three evil Madchen In Uniform in the three separate adventures. Owing to a lack of imagination on the part of illustrator Dick Dillin, all three looked like the same gal had just done a quick-change between panels, but they were all dedicated to the proposition of the female of the species being the deadliest! Hitla purported to be the daughter of the famous Adolf; Communa was the pin-up babe of the Iron Curtain crowd; and Vampira – well, have a guess what her agenda was. Oddly enough, the master plan (mistress plan?) of all three ladies was the same; crush, kill, destroy, conquer, and so on. These delightful cheesy slices of nostalgic pulp are all in one issue, GD-, for £20. A shame none of them made the cover, but trust us, they’re busting out all over the pages! SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
