This issue benefits tremendously with two stories illustrated by the pioneering woman artist Lily Renée. Along with Nina Albright and Fran Hopper, she was one of the few women working in the comic book industry at the time.
Always interested in art and drawing, her mother noticed an ad in the paper for a comic book artist. "I went to Fiction House and I was hired on a trial basis, and they kept me," she explained in an interview with Trina Robbins in THE COMICS JOURNAL. "And then after a year and a half, I was doing covers and I got a big Christmas bonus and I got some nice clothes because, you know, I didn't have any clothes that were current in America at all. So I was in Fiction House, and it was difficult because they were only men and they were always making these sexual innuendos and so forth."
NOTES:
- The story "Mistress of the Web" was changed from the original art titled "Priestess of the Spider Death".
- The original title for "The Dark Eyes of Destiny" was "Eyes of Azrael".
- Only the writers were credited in this issue; credit for Kamen's and Renée's art is sourced via their original art.
- Ads have been removed from this scan.
