Sheena, Queen of the Jungle

The original jungle queen, Sheena, blazed a trail across Fiction House's comic pages from 1942 to 1953, starring in 18 issues of untamed adventure. Crafted by regular hands like writers W. Morgan Thomas and Ed Hunt, with vivid art from Bob Webb, Robert Webb, and Gus Schrotter, the series followed the blonde warrior and her alter ego Sheena Rivington through perilous encounters in the wild. As one of the earliest and most iconic female leads in comics, Sheena set the standard for the jungle-girl archetype, proving a heroine could command both the page and the imagination.
