Nyoka the Jungle Girl #60

Fawcett's long-running photo-cover series is on full display here as Nyoka herself — dressed in a crisp white shirt, red shorts, and boots — clings alertly to a bamboo structure deep in lush jungle surroundings, pistol in hand and clearly on guard. The banner across the bottom teases "The Jungle Rogue," promising the kind of wild adventure that made this series a staple of 1951 newsstands. At a dime a copy, this October issue is a fine snapshot of Fawcett's confident, action-forward approach to one of comics' most capable heroines.
