Nice! From the days when artists knew how to draw natural breasts.

It's H.L. Larsen in White Princess of the Jungle 2 - That scan was one I edited from the JVJ project at the digital comics museums.

The "Strange Mission" story is reprinted from Slave Girl Comics which have got to be some of the most iconic redhead covers of the golden age. Cimmerian's edit work here.  The first is Larsen, GCD credits the second to Larsen, too:

That's Mae Weston choking out Carol Cook. Jack Dempsey as referee!

Here's Moolah choking Penny Banner, though:

My father brought a Wrestling Revue magazine home from someplace in 1963. It had a centrefold pinup of NWA and WWWF champion Buddy "Nature Boy" Rogers and I remember it to this very day!

I've got a couple from 63, it'd be awfully fortunate to have the one you're remembering.

I actually own a replica of that very Destroyer mask.  I used to put it on when the kids were misbehaving and chase them around the house.:o

I used to write about 50s era wrestling but haven't in a good while. 

Debbie Harry's down with one of the Dick Beyer's other masked personas, too :x

Edit: Don't let's get started on blondes, though.  I married one of those, and that's a whole 'nother ball of wax :facepalm:
