American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: It’s A Jungle Out There: Jumbo Comics starring Sheena
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Fiction House was a major comics publisher from the 1930s to the 1950s and Jumbo comics, which starred Sheena, Queen Of The Jungle in each of its 167 issues, was its first comic title. Other long-running recurring features in this adventure anthology included supernatural chills with the Ghost Gallery, pirate adventure with the Hawk, aviation good girl comedy with Sky Girl by Matt Baker and western thrills with Long Bow. But it was Sheena who provided the lead feature and whose dynamic cover dominated every issue. Four lovely examples in this week from the Bute Collection as follows:
