If I live 50 more years and continue posting to this wonderful site the whole time, I do not believe I'll ever post as many DID pics from a single issue of a comic book as appears on this page. Nyoka the Jungle Girl #1 is a six chapter long serial virtually stacked with DID scenes. I only finally got to read #1 when I...
As I've said many times before, the perils Sheena experiences from story to story seem quite redundant . . . falling off a cliff, falling into water, fighting wild animals. There are a few original knockouts, but for the most part it is usually the same ol' same ol'. Still, she is always great to look at, and pics o...
Published in the Summer of 1949, Sheena comes up against some phony tour guides who lure rich tourists to Africa, take them on a safari, and while far from civilization, they rob and kill their victims. One of them flirts with Sheena when they first meet, but she does not like it one bit, and lets him know. When she ...
Bulletgirl was one of a small handful of pioneers introducing DID art to a generation of young men gone to war in faraway places like North Africa, Italy and Guam. Fawcett Publications did not fully realize the strong appeal of this kind of art, even though public pressure against it was still waiting to come years lat...
Apparantly the Willoughbys and the Kents of Eastern Kentucky had a serious feud in the distant past, and the Kents killed a lot of Willoughbys before it all ended. Many decades later, a descendent of the Willoughbys has vowed vengeance on the Kents, and to assist him, he kidnaps an electrical engineer who has invented...
The Woman in Red is arguably the first masked comic book crime fighting heroine, having her start in March of 1940 in Thrilling Comics published by Standard/Nedor. She also made two appearances in America's Best Comic #'s 1 and 2 - - - why she was not continued in that title is not clear, but it was not a good decisio...
Her name is Taanda, and she is the red-headed ruler of the Tauruti tribe in darkest Africa; the year is 1951. Some white poachers are stealing animals already in traps set by the Tauruti tribesmen. Taanda discovers their felonious deeds and gives them a chance to give the stolen animals back. The baddies choose to fi...
More famous for illustrating Phantom Lady, it is still true that whenever Matt Baker does the art -- whoever it may be -- you know it will be the best ever. . . . and that is certainly the case in this Tiger Girl story. I have always had a special fondness for Tiger Girl anyway, but I suspect Matt's art is the basic r...
Zegra had a very short run, 4 issues in all, and all of them bearing her name in the title. There never was a #1 and these pics, taken from #5 were published in October 1948. This particular story features three small children in it, and my theory is that this was Fox Publication's way of trying to prove that comic b...
Fox Publications is well known for producing Phantom Lady and Rulah, but the golden age era had other lesser known greats, many of them short-lived, too short lived, if you ask me. Zegra is one of them. I think she looked great, but oddly, unlike Rulah, and Sheena, she had a very short run . . . and equally puzzling,...
Matt Baker is the absolute King of Good Girl Art, hands down. He did the cover for this issue of Phantom Lady, and its quality speaks for itself. However the pics from which this story was taken are graphic art renderings of another artist, Jack Kamen, who was quite good in his own way and worked on a number of great ...
Fox, never shy about reprinting its old material under another title, seems to have put out this version of RULAH #17 two years or so after the orginal issue was published. Sleazy busness practices aside, there are a couple of nice ko's of the statuesque jungle girl..

Sheena was always great looking, there is no denying that. And a lot of the time her stories were exciting, but not always. Bill Black once wrote in one of his Americomics editorial pages: "Sometimes Sheena stories can be downright boring." True, but even then, she looked great, right Bill? Most of her appearances w...
This is the second set of pics from Sheena #2 (published in 1943) and these come from the third story in this issue; (elsewhere on this website pics from the second story in this same issue are posted for viewing.) In this story Sheena is knocked out and when she wakes up she does not know who she is (she has amnesia -...
This issue was published in 1943 with over a million GI's in foxholes across Europe. These provided a huge market base for Sheena books -- and it was nearly all an adult market, not teenage. As a result these early issues of Sheena, like nearly all stories of female crime-fighters during the war, are full of gga and ...
In Wonder Woman, Volume 1, Issue #177 (DC, August 1968), the alien ruler "Klamos the Mighty" deicides to pit various females from across the universe in a battle to the death -- the winner will become his queen! He captures two superheroines from Earth: Wonder Woman and Supergirl. His underlings come across Supergirl a...
