Jumbo Comics #48

Jumbo Comics #48 brings Fiction House's jungle queen Sheena front and center in a cover by Dan Zolnerowich that crackles with wild energy — her blonde hair flying, leopard-skin outfit in motion, she braces against a tree trunk while two prowling leopards menace a figure caught below her in the dense undergrowth. Inside, the stories promised on the cover include "Red Meat for the Cat-Pack," written by W. Morgan Thomas with art by Bob Webb and Ann Brewster, suggesting the big cats on that cover are more than just decoration. For a dime in 1943, this issue delivers the action, adventure, and mystery that Jumbo Comics always wore proudly across its masthead.
