A panel from Planet comics. The scene is titled “GALE CAN STAND NO MORE…”. The character is depicted wearing a futuristic crown inside a clear helmet. The panel features a speech bubble with the text “I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!”
Info not related to the panel:
Planet Comics # 12 | Published May 1941. With this issue, brunette Gale Allen got a dye job and spent the rest of her career as a blonde.
Gale Allen and her Girl Squadron! were from Planet Comics, from the publisher Fiction House. As a Venusian princess, she grew up to become the captain of the Universal Space Patrol. A skilled space pilot sporting a ray gun at her hip, Gale leads her Girl Squadron in the fight for galactic justice around the year 1990 (when her adventures first begin).
Planet Comics as a whole is a fun read (a few stories are lame, but not many). It’s an anthology comic with most stories being 4-15 pages long. Gale isn’t presented as a Damsel in distress, but as an early female action hero.
Her character was introduced in Planet Comics #4.

Her first episodes are 4 pages long. You’ll have to skip from comic to comic. Amazon has a book with the collected stories (allegedly) for about $4. I’m cheap, so I don’t know.

That sounds excellent, I’ll have to give it a go … I’m outside the US, so I’ll try to track stuff down online …
Thank you for such a thorough reply!

Thanks - I was thinking of the collected works because I’m lazy like that, but I’m not about to look a gift horse in the mouth!
