About the series
Monte Barrett and Russell Ross brought the resourceful newspaper reporter Jane Arden from her long-running comic strip into her own comic book series for St. John in 1948. Over just two issues, this pre-Code adventure comic showcased the fearless journalist tackling crime and intrigue with the same sharp wit that made her a beloved syndicated character. Though brief, the series stands as a key example of a popular female-led strip making the leap to the newsstand format in the late Golden Age.
