The Dreaded Deadline Doom Caught Us on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday...
...so we decided to re-present our first Space Heroine's one and (sadly) only appearance in the back of the obscure PL Publishing one-shot Captain Rocket Comics #1 (1951)!
Ironically, future sci-fi/fantasy novelist Harry (Stainless Steel Rat) Harrison both scripted and rendered this tale, which might have inspired later characters such as Barbarella!
The art combines several different styles on different pages so it could've been a rush job with a group effort to meet the deadline, which matches Harrison's recollections that he had some assistance on a couple of stories.
PL Publishing was an American publisher who printed and distributed their books in Canada.

As a result, very few copies of any of their eight short-lived titles ever reached fans in the US!
