LOOK! The Blonde Phantom Is Here Tonight!

I mentioned yesterday that we'd be heading to visit Deadpool's Big Green Mama, but i'm still working on corralling my peripatetic mind and it doesn't want to write about that just now. So we're gonna slip around back and sneak up on it.

The Blonde Phantom first appeared in All Select Comics in the fall of 1946, with her own title debuting that winter.

So why is everyone laughing?

Perhaps, one might think, it has something to do with her adventures? Blonde Phantom Comics #12 (the first issue. You know how it goes) opened up with an impressive looking enough splash - full page even -

As the story opens up, however...

And that seemed to be a primary focus - dating her boss...

Little might one suspect what a deeply strange fate awaits her...
