Undercover Girl

Undercover Girl
Manhunt #13
Magazine Enterprises, 1952

The Undercover Girl feature in Manhunt is a fascinating reflection of its particular moment in time. […] The Central Intelligence Agency was created on September 18, 1947 […]. References to Undercover Girl working for “Central Intelligence” began periodically with Manhunt #2, cover-dated November 1947 and with an on-sale date of September 30, which means that this real-world turn of events was seemingly reflected in the comic book virtually immediately. The feature had a distinct focus on adventures all over the world revolving around safeguarding the secrets of the atomic bomb and similar matters.
