American Comics Update: The Arch Collection: It’s A Jumbo Out There! 4 Jumbo Comics from 1951
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: From our fabulous Arch Collection: 4 issues of the Fiction House anthology series Jumbo Comics from 1951. You could be forgiven for thinking that Jumbo was another of those jungle comics so prevalent at the time, and while every issue of its 167 issue run from 1938 to 1953 starred Sheena, the original Jungle Queen, who was cover featured (usually prominently) on nearly every single one, the other stories in each issue were very varied. In 1951, the year of the issues in this update, you got spooks with the Ghost Gallery, piracy with the Hawk, western with Long Bow and sometimes a second Sheena story. Cover art was by the wonderfully luminous Maurice Whitman, featuring superb Fiction House colouring.
