Owner's Description

Thrilling Crime Cases #47 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on page 84.

On page 84, Wagner is describing the negative depiction of women in comic books and uses an example from Thrilling Crime Cases #47 “A scene from a story called ‘Thrill Crazed Killer’ in Thrilling Crime Cases no 47 shows an enormous blonde standing over a man she has just floored; he remarks, with reason, ‘Whew! I feel like I been run over by a truck’ to which she replies, ‘You haven’t been yet. But if you want to keep yourself from being put through a meat-grinder…you better pony up all the dough.’ The last picture in this plaintive little parable shows our heroine suggestively manacled, sweetly smiling, as she is led off to prison, the payoff in one picture after sixteen of successful violence.”

I have included a scan of the page from the story that contains the “enormous blonde standing over the man she has just floored.”
