Dan Zolnerowich classic cvr; Queen of the Jungle vs King of the Jungle battle cvr
Ruben Blades CopyOne of the very first female comic characters to have her own title, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, was a popular gender-swapped swipe of Tarzan. Raised by a witch doctor, the orphaned heroine was taught the ways of the native African people and would go on to do battle with all manner of threats from slavers to dinosaurs and beyond. This debut solo issue was published due to popular demand for the character who was already the star attraction in Jumbo Comics, another of Fiction House’s Golden Age titles. Shown battling a lion in her trademark leopard skin outfit, Sheena was a big hit with fans of Good Girl Art, and she remains a popular character for fans of the genre today, even influencing The Ramones to write the classic “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” to express their affections towards the cult phenom.
