Nyoka the Jungle Girl #7

This May 1947 Fawcett issue puts Nyoka in a striking, icy landscape a long way from any tropical jungle — she stands composed and defiant between a snarling polar bear and a roaring lion, while a sleek yellow-and-red aircraft streaks through the mountains behind her. The cover copy promises "Nyoka Battles with Death in the North Pole Jungle," and that collision of arctic chill and wild predators makes for an irresistibly pulpy setup. A terrific snapshot of Fawcett's adventurous heroine at her most cool-under-pressure.
