And just then, Blade’s back went out again.

Anyone else noticed, she hasn’t got any feet. Jus sayin.

Well, with Dick swinging his enormous D. . . I mean axe around like that it’s a surprise she’s got any body parts left (or at least left in working order).

“Richard, no! I said ‘ask him’, not ‘axe him’…”

So Dick’s blade gets a rest in this one? Highly unlikely.

Wow. The Pulpfiles review of this book from the prior cover page is something else.

I guess the reason for some of the iffy illustrations of Dick Blade are the “other-dimensional-ness” of the stories?

‘Hey, what’s Wesley Snipes got that I ain’t got?’

Another Richard Blade hack job.

What an odd way to shave your armpits.

Aw, yeah, Dick. (Sans monkey)
The damsel doesn’t look in such bad shape as on the previous cover, and we’re not looking at Dick’s pasty white butt.
Is Dick trying to chop his way out of the rainbow box? His left hand looks like it was generated by one of those art AIs.
Why did this artist have no idea what human anatomy looks like? Dick’s got weird muscles, and she’s either doing the Frug, broken something, or is about to exit stage left while Dick’s hacking at nothing. Either that or she’s yelling at Dick to come back and finish their game of Twister.
@Steve S: Of course not, this is GSS.
@Ryan: Mr/Ms/Mx pulpfiles used to pop by here occasionally back in the day. Wish they were still around.

Am I correct to assume that #1 means this is the very first Blade pulp? Nice find, @Raoul!
@Ryan: thanks for the link to “Pulpfiles Notes”. Thoroughly enjoyed, time well wasted.

@Emster: Yes, according to Wikipedia, this is the first.
And now I’m going to have ads for Blade popping up on my browser because I searched for that.
The second in the series is The Jade Warrior, which I found in a used book store and submitted here a while back.

@Tor: Moments ago I searched “Blade” on GSS because, well, that’s my idea of fun. Delightfully atrocious and definitely seeing a theme with Dick and his underwear model GF. Thanks for taking one for the team yet again…

@Tor: At least Marvel Blade has very cool clothes. Although when I search for anything I’ve seen on GSS, I prefer to go incognito.
@Raoul: Belated GSS for the art direction.

Richard Blade sniffs his armpit to make sure he remembered to use his Bronze AXE body spray.

Maybe that’s why the damsel is exiting. Being trapped in a box with a guy covered in Axe must be suffocating. It’s literally put her out of joint.
