*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: From the Bute Collection this week, a look at three doyennes of the Golden Age. From 1946, the second of two issues of Debbie Dean, Career Girl, featuring newspaper strip reprints by Bert Whitman. From 1950, issue #2 (1st issue, formerly Jungle Lil), of Fox’s Dorothy Lamour, Jungle Princess, in which the real-life model and film star is cast as a jungle girl, with (early and rather primitive) art by Wally Wood and a photo cover. And from 1949, in Fast Fiction #3, She, H Rider Haggard’s famous lost queen, gloriously depicted by Vincent Napoli under an H C Keifer cover. All three are in pretty good shape, despite being older than me!
