Number 2373: The Blonde Bomber is introduced

I like stories about women that are drawn by women. Honey Blake, the Blonde Bomber, is a young reporter, along with her cameraman, Jimmy Slapso, from the generation before television. Her time was during the newsreel era, when to see the news one went to a movie theater and got glimpses of the outside world that we now take for granted. Honey and Slapso got involved in their stories.

The Blonde Bomber had a good run in Harvey Comics, including Green Hornet, but also appeared in a few issues of All-New Comics and Speed Comics. According to online sources Blonde Bomber was created by Barbara Hall, who is credited with the artwork on this origin story from Green Hornet Comics #7 (1942).
