The Miss Liberty alluded to in the title is not an actual character who appears in the comic, but the personification of liberty (like the Statue of Liberty). She does appear in a head shot integrated into the logo.

Aside from the cover, this is a reprint of Shield-Wizard Comics (1940 series) #13 (Spring 1944).
