With more than the usual scenes of peril, Jumbo #38 has a very simple plot line for Sheena and her beau (Bob) . . . it's all about some cannibals who want to have them over for supper . . . literally. Nothing complicated or devious . . . just some white meat for the whole tribe to enjoy for Sunday brunch. The first s...

Though Sheena's stories are often more historical and realistic, Jumbo #53 has one of the more "fanciful" tales of Sheena. . . . the story is of an evil jungle Witch Doctor who has his tribe's warriors hunt down innocent virgins to offer for human sacrifice. . . . the sacrifice is not to a pagan god or a life...

Jumbo #51 was published in May, 1943 just 18 months after Pearl Harbor was attacked and the U.S. entered World War II. The country was deeply imbedded in a life and death conflict and comic books of the time frequently reflected the anxiety and awesome terror of the times. Sheena stories were no exception. In this s...

In Jumbo #47 Sheena and her mate (Bob) encounter a Frenchman named Gabreau who is doing some gene altering research with jungle animals, and he has hired a crew of natives as helpers. When Sheena approaches she sees him whipping a couple of crew members with a bull whip and she orders him to stop. He attacks her by p...

The art work in the early Sheena issues (pre-WWII) is not as good as the artwork of later issues. But as happens so often, the story-telling makes up for it, particularly when it includes many elements of DID in the storyline. In this early issue of Jumbo,(Feb. 1940), Sheena attracts the eye of an Arabian slave trade...

When Sheena appeared for the 52nd time in the July, 1943 issue of Jumbo, WWII was in its l8th month and the USA was totally engaged in the North Africa campaign. This issue clearly reflects the times -- the bad guy is a Nazi espionage agent looking for a British agent who has a "spy box" with extremely important war i...

from the last issue of gothamcitysirens art not so sexy but hey, it's catwoman BeG plus it's a wake up (i know you love it) the scene will continue in november issue.

Wikipedia says: "Yankee Girl: This character originally debuted in Harry "A" Chesler's Punch Comics #1 (1941), in her secret identity of Kitty Kelly, an air hostess. She then appeared in the Yankee Girl costume in Captain Flight Comics #8, now with the ability to gain great strength in time of crisis." I've neve...

She is hit in the head with the butt of a gun, and later knocked unconscious by a large plane which crashes to earth righ...

Peter O'Donnell's classic pulp heroine Modesty Blaise gets in loads of trouble in this first b&w edition of newspaper strip reprints (in Spanish...any bilingualists out there?) As far as I can tell, Modesty gets captured by a bunch of currupt monks who proceed to torture her by tying her up next to a ringing church be...

I have often said that Sheena perils are too redundant and predictable, clearly a lack of imagination on the part of the story teller. (note: I have never complained about the art. She always looks great, even if she is rendered differently in the first 20 issues or so.) Despite the lack of creativity in inventing per...

Sheena is arguably the number one reason good girl art came on the scene so powerfully in the Golden Age of comics. She was the first sexy, "super-heroine", preceding Wonder Woman by 2 to 3 years (Her first appearance was in 1938). While possessing no super-powers, she commanded jungle animals by the dozen, could kil...
