Jumbo Comics #153

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, swings into action on this November 1951 Fiction House cover, knife in hand and golden hair streaming as she navigates a jungle canopy — a snarling lion lunges below while a menacing gorilla looms from the branches above. The cover art by Bob Webb captures the tension of that two-front threat beautifully, with Sheena's leopard-print outfit and fearless expression making clear she's more than equal to either challenge. Inside, the story "Lost Legions of the Nile" promises the kind of far-flung adventure that made Jumbo Comics a staple of the early 1950s pulp jungle genre.
