Joan Grayson

Joan Grayson is a Golden Age supporting character who debuted in Fox Feature Syndicate's jungle-adventure title, appearing alongside Rulah, the jungle goddess. She inhabits the wild, pulp-flavored world of late-1940s comics adventure.

A Golden Age original born in the pages of Fox Feature Syndicate's jungle-adventure world, Joan Grayson made her debut in Rulah #20 in 1948 — a product of the prolific Iger Shop at the height of comics' wild, anything-goes early era. She shares her adventures with none other than Rulah herself, placing her squarely in one of the period's most vivid corners of pulp storytelling. Though her catalog footprint is modest, the fact that her appearances stretch across reprints and collections all the way to 2019 — through Gwandanaland Comics and Strange Mysteries — speaks to an enduring curiosity about the Golden Age characters who populated these gloriously untamed pages. For collectors with a passion for Fox's forgotten gems, Joan Grayson is a genuine piece of comics history worth tracking down.
