SHEENA, QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, the first successful female action hero in comics, debuted in Jumbo Comics #1 in September 1938. This blond, beautiful, spear-carrying, jungle girl in a scanty leopard skin  was one of 19-year-old Will Eisner's first creations. He said he created Sheena to be a female counterpart of Tarzan and that he borrowed the name from the H. Ryder Haggard novel, She. This jungle goddess went on to star in over 150 comic books from 1938 to 1953, Sheena's father was explorer Cardwell Rivington, whose witch doctor friend raised Sheena to become a heroic champion of good over evil in savage Africa. Sheena was played in a 26-episode, 1956 TV series by pin-up Irish McCalla.
