The Deadly Quest!

We've encountered a number of scantily-clad, jungle jittery tales over at THOIA this month, so how about one more right here at AEET, via the January 1948 issue of Exciting Comics #59. And just how exciting is this anyway, you're probably askin' yourself? Well, if you can tear yourself away from that amazing Alex Schomberg cover art, you'll find your adventure has only just begun-- because here comes nine, pulse-poundin' pages of F'n Frank Frazetta jungle goddess goodness to boot, --woo hoo!! Fraz merely proves what we already know, that he can definitely do it all: mean men, awesome animal attacks, and one of the deadliest dames to ever sock some deservin' sap right across a funny book page panel! And if you think it all ends there, think again, because we also have a couple classic shots of actress Ann Savage dressed as a jungle savage and wieldin' a spear like nobody's business-- from the equally exciting 1944 Columbia Pictures comedy, Ever Since Venus! I believe we've covered all categories of beautiful blondes, brunettes, and rockin' red heads! But is it possible to top all of this with one more post before juicy June screeches to a halt? Stick around and find out...
