Gale Allen And The Girl Squadron

I started following a comics blog called Four Color Shadows, and it did not take long for me to find something worthy of a post here.  As far as I can tell, Gale Allen and the Girl Squadron is about an all female space patrol that operates from Venus.  According to FCS, this 1940s title was drawn by female artist Fran Hopper.  In this episode, the Girl Squadron saves the inhabitants of a nearby planet from enslavement by a villian using a mind-altering gas.
