Camera Comics #4


In this episode, in the #4 Spring 1945 issue Linda, a "topnotch camerawoman for feature magazines" travels on assignment to South America to shoot a festival. She winds up covering a revolution instead. She's wearing an evening dress in this frame because she was dining out when the news of the revolution broke. Luckily she had the foresight to carry her camera in her purse so was able to leap on a horse and gallop to the action. She gets the shot and her editor is ecstatic.

Kudos to U.S. Camera Publishing Corporation of Chicago for giving us Linda who may be the first and only female action adventure photographer ever. WHATTA GIRL!!
