Tiger Girl

Few characters embody the wild, untamed spirit of Golden Age adventure quite like Tiger Girl, who burst onto the scene in Fight Comics #32 in 1944, conjured by the creative team of Chuck Walker and Arnold Hicks for the legendary pulp-and-panels publisher Fiction House. She carved out her niche in the pages of Fight Comics and Jungle Girls — exactly the kind of sun-drenched, action-packed titles where Fiction House's bold heroines thrived — and her story didn't end with the Golden Age; her appearances stretch all the way to 2006, including a run in FemForce that introduced her to generations of collectors who never knew the original newsstand era. Keeping company with the likes of the glamorous Señorita Rio and a cast of vivid characters across 53 catalogued appearances, with at least one recognized key issue to her name, Tiger Girl is a genuine artifact of comics history — the sort of fierce, enduring heroine that reminds you why Fiction House was one of the great unsung homes of the Golden Age.
