The Damsel - Male, September 1967


Story title: The Passion Racers.

Artist: Bruce Minney.

Cover tagline: "A Wild Flesh Kitten... A Ruthless Adventurer... And 1500 Miles of Non-Stop Violence."

Inside blurb: "A lush, anything-goes playgirl, she was the cornered prey of a gang of vengeance assassins until she took desperate refuge in Al Grofield's convenient hotel room. And suddenly this lone wolf adventurer found himself stuck with a flesh-pack of danger that would propel him on a wild cross-country chase with mobdom's bloodiest massacre at the end of the line..."

Notes: - This is an abridged story, several chapters have been omitted throughout the text.

- Minor changes like Elly’s description in the beginning of the text are present.

- Grofield and Elly’s kiss remains in the magazine version, but all references to sex have been omitted.

- Unlike other magazine reprints, the illustrations used within the text appear to have been specifically made for The Damsel and not reused from other sources.
