This post also takes a look at Damsels in distress as depicted on movie posters through the years for horror and sci-fi.
I also included the ‘banned’ inside cover art for Guns & Roses first album Appetite for Destruction, just because it fit so well in the theme.
This post takes a look at Damsels in Distress as depicted on Sci-fi & Horror pulp magazines, horror comics and a few Book Covers (and a few loose illustrations, too!)

And don’t forget to take a look at Part One of our Damsels in Distress pictorials: Damsels in Distress – in movies
Cinema has had a long history of damsels in distress. Early days in silent films we’d witness tied up women laid on railroad tracks. Today we can see wives and daughters kidnapped and heroes like Liam Neeson rushing in to save them.
Take a look at the Damsel in Distress in HORROR and SCI-FI as they are carried off by apes and creatures, brutes and beasts.
