Number 1716: Airboy to Val, more than a pal

The instant Airboy sees his old flame, Valkyrie, he and she are magnetized together. Lust is in the air, boy, when Valkyrie enters the room. One wonders with that lip-lock going on in the panel above how either of them got a word out.

Five years ago I showed the original story of Airboy’s Valkryrie. Just see the link below this story. I also have another link to another treat, a different Valkyrie: from Blackhawk, drawn by Reed Crandall.

But the Valkyrie we are concerned with today appeared in Airboy Comics Vol.3 No. 6 (1946). The artwork is by Fred Kida.

As promised, more Valkyrie(s)! Just click on the thumbnails.

Airboy and Valkyrie


This story has been reprinted a few times and for good reason. It's sexy. Valkyrie proclaims as she shoots at Airboy, "Here's a taste of some hot German lead!" Airboy gets both the hot lead and the hot German.

Valkyrie, as drawn by Fred Kida and Bill Quackenbush in her 1943 introductory opus from Air Fighters Volume 2 Number 2, is a Nazi-trained fighter, the cream of "German girlhood." But she realizes the error of her ways. Maybe the sight of a bare-chested Airboy had something to do with that. Speaking of bare-chested, braless Valkyrie looks pretty good in her open blouse. I'm sure the attraction went both ways as shown by the action between the two in the crowded cockpit of Airboy's plane, Birdie.
