Jane Dodge

Jane Dodge is a Golden Age jungle adventure heroine who debuted in the pages of Zoot Comics, sharing the pulpy, action-packed world of similar jungle icons. She appeared across titles including Zoot Comics and Jungle Comics.

Matt Baker — one of the Golden Age's most celebrated artists — introduced Jane Dodge to readers in the pages of Zoot Comics #7 in 1947, and her story has quietly endured across an impressive stretch of comics history reaching all the way to 2022. A product of the golden era of jungle adventure comics, she keeps extraordinary company: the same pulpy, action-packed pages that feature icons like Rulah, Mara, and Sandra Knight. Her appearances span Zoot Comics, Jungle Comics, and the archival-minded Gwandanaland Comics, making her a genuine artifact of a beloved and visually dynamic chapter in the medium's past — and a rewarding discovery for any Golden Age enthusiast hunting for Baker's distinctive, expressive linework.
