Tigresa

Tigresa was a short-lived newspaper comic strip published by Export Newspaper Service from 1954 to 1955, though it never saw a single issue in comic book form. Though its run was brief, the strip is remembered for its central character—a fierce, jungle-dwelling heroine—and for being part of the mid-century wave of adventure serials that featured strong, independent women. While no individual creator is widely associated with the series today, its very existence reflects the era’s appetite for exotic, action-driven storytelling in daily newspapers. Tigresa remains a curious footnote for collectors and historians of vintage newspaper strips, a glimpse of a character concept that never quite found its full audience.
