Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
Hey! This is great! I’m taking the day off!
Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
Fiction House was Good Girl Art... covers and stories! Pulp magazine publisher Thurman T. Scott, the head of Fiction House, was already interested in getting into comic books when he was approached by the Iger/Eisner studio in the late 1930s. Businessman Jerry Iger and artist Will Eisner Sheena, Queen of the Jungle(who later went on his own when he created The Spirit) brought about the transformation of Fiction House publications from pulps into comics. The first comic book title produced was Jumbo Comics. One of the stories in Jumbo featured Sheena, Queen of the Jungle! By 1940 Fiction House was off and running. Some titles—Jungle, Wings, Planet —were conversions of former pulp titles. Added were Fight, Ranger and, of course, Sheena. Fearing that Iger Studio artists would be drafted into the armed forces (Will Eisner had already left to do The Spirit and was subsequently drafted), Scott formed his own Fiction House stable of artists, partially made up of female artists Fran Hopper, Lilly Renée and Marcia Snyder plus Lee Elias, who was British. Below are some quality reprints that include Fiction House material from the golden age: the golden age of comics and the golden age of Fiction House.





GOLDEN AGE Sheena, Queen of the Jungle Sheena, Queen of the JungleGolden Age Sheena: The Best of the Queen of the Jungle reprints the first appearances of the first title heroine to have her own comic book. The remastered Sheena collection from Devil's Due Publishing features never before reprinted issues of Jumbo Comics and Sheena Comics. Over 144 pages of Sheena stories from the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's comprise the new volume. The same comics were once decried by Dr. Frederic Wertham for "torture, bloodshed, and lust in an exotic setting" in his infamous 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent. The comics came from Eisner/Iger Studios, helmed by comic book legends Will Eisner and Jerry Iger.
