Tat Wood Comments: The blurb calls the Sheirl-maiden’s body ‘virginal’. This looks more ‘impregnable’, like a Barbie. (If they’d made a Pru Standfast Barbie as part of a misguided C.A.T.S. Eyes merchandising bonanza, possibly as a crossover with ‘Gladiators’).

Tat Wood Comments: Fifty years on, the title’s still hilarious. But note how Jeff Jones has emphasised the turtle’s head and the hero’s arms while leaving it ambiguous what exactly is going on or how many limbs each party is supposed to have.
