British Update: Nyoka the Jungle Girl: Former Fawcett Heroine Represented by Miller
*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: One of Fawcett’s other long-running series, besides Captain Marvel and Family, was Nyoka the Jungle Girl. Originally adapted from a B-movie serial, Nyoka’s comics series lasted from 1942 to 1953, and she was unique among jungle girls in that she had realistic anatomy and sensible clothing! During the British Comics Famine of the 1950s, Len Miller, indefatigable re-packager of US titles, took Nyoka on, launching her British b & w series with #50, and running till #117. We have a Bakers’ Dozen Miller Nyokas, four later ones being fan-created facsimiles in VF, and the earlier issues being the first-run Miller reprints, in grades ranging from GD to VF.
