JACK? OR JACQUELINE?

 I haven't read enough of Go Nagai's VIOLENCE JACK, but apparently the gigantic hero sometimes transformed into both (a) little kid avatar, and (b) a sexy babe avatar. Here's the sexy babe, whose name I do not know.

 

KEEP ON SMILIN'--

 --as you jack off to the femmes of SMILIN JACK. 

The girl with the very long hair and the cornball name of "Simone Legreete" seems to be in tune with Sade in her love of torturing men, whereas Simon Legree mainly tortured for profit.

Here's CINDY THE INCENDIARY BLONE, who took part of her name from a 1945 Betty Hutton flick, INCENDIARY BLONDE.

Here's Cindy punching out Stretch, younger brother of Smilin' Jack, to keep the young guy away from her teen daughter. If I were doing a solo post, it would of course be titled "Stretch Socked."  

WESTWARD HOS

 A roundup of KITTY CARSON capers.

WHIPPED AND CREAMED

 Belle Dubois whips it good.

RING THAT BELLE! PART 2

 The rest of the decent BUFFALO BELLE scenes.

LUANA TUNES

 I have no clue as to why, around 1973, Warren Publishing decides to issue a very loose adaptation of a scene from the 1968 Italian-made flick LUANA. All I can say is that writer Doug Moench and artist Esteban Maroto made Luana much more combative than the film does. There was also a 1974 paperback adaptation of the flick, which I have not read in a long time. Possibly the film got released to American theaters around that time.

  

THE FARCE AWAKENS

 

Butt gets knocked on his mutt-- or something.

Mable, Mable, sweet and able.

This Omar (of Bagdad) isn't Khayyam, but he does get Kablamed.

  

Eustis? More like "useless."

No violence in these panels from a WILBUR strip, but he's duly humiliated at his girlfriend's greater strength, fortitude, and accuracy. I don't think this schtick was a regular aspect of the feature.

SHAHNARAMA

 Not too many screengrabs showing Kirk's two fights with Shahna in "Gamesters of Triskelion," but this is from the first one, slightly after she hits him with her staff.

 

WESTWARD HOS

 Apparently "gal sheriff" Kitty Carson appeared just once in WESTERN FRONTIER #3, with art attributed to one Richard Case. There had been an earlier Kitty Carson who'd appeared maybe a dozen times in Harvey Comics' KERRY DRAKE comic but the two are unrelated except for the "Kit Carson" pun. If KITTY had managed to become a series apparently a regular feature would've been the "quarreling lovers" trope seen here.

    

WESTWARD HOS

 KIT WEST had a feature in Avon's COW PUNCHER COMICS and then appeared in various other Avon comics, such as this fake story of her origins in the one-shot WHITE CHIEF OF THE PAWNEE INDIANS. 

These three are from COW PUNCHER.

MORE QUALITY QUELLINGS

 Nylon Hose shows some Spirit.

And an unnamed blonde makes Woozy woozier.

The Queen Bee shows off her stinger but unfortunately gets no chances to clip the wings of the Blackhawks.

 

JUNGLE GALLERY

 

Sheena leads the pack, as always.

However, Camilla comes in second with two strong showings.

However, a story I'll entitle (for reference) as "The Death Idol" (JUNGLE COMICS #46, 1943) requires a little explication. In it, an evil chieftain named Kann has set up an idol that dispenses death to those who come near it, for the idol dispenses deadly germs. Kann denies his sister Lelia the right to marry her beloved, the strangely named tribesman "Red Rogue," though Kann gives no reason for the injunction. Foreign Legionnaire Terry Thunder, having wandered very far from his usual North African haunts, gets involved. Despite the hero's presence, Lelia saves the day. She stumbles across the door in the back of the idol, and when her brother gets close, she triggers the germs, kills him, and gains the freedom to marry her beloved. As for the most unusual aspect of "Idol," Lelia is portrayed as the only White person in an otherwise Black tribe. But since this wasn't a strip by Black artist Matt Baker-- an artist who frequently had his heroes encounter tribes of Black men married to White women, I suppose for his own amusement-- it's pretty likely that Lelia was simply intended to be Black but a colorist rendered her as White.
