Jungle Girls

Plot

An anthology that collects the best Golden Age (1940s - 1950s) comic book stories featuring strong female versions of Tarzan. The sassy, brassy, and beautiful girls of the four-color Golden Age don't just rule the jungle, they look good doing it, too! Strong, sexy, leopard-clad women fight apes, lions, and evil white man traders while the Tarzan-like boyfriends cling to their vines watching admiringly from a safe distance.

Thrill to the adventures of strong women who right wrongs–jungle style! Read all about them in this curated anthology of comic stories from the 1940s and '50s. Including: Tygra, Princess Pantha, Rulah, Fantomah, Judy of the Jungle, Camilla, Jun-Gal, Cave Girl, and of course, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle!

Feast your eyes on the artwork of Frank Frazetta, Fran Hopper, Bob Powell, Everett Raymond Kintsler, Jack Kamen, and last but not least, Matt Baker! Also includes an Introduction by Dr. Sheena Howard, whose book, Black Comics: Politics of Race and Representation won the 2014 Eisner Award for Best Scholarly Work.
