The 1942 debut of the Sheena collection from Fiction House incorporates a cowl by underappreciated Golden Age artist Dan Zolnerowich.
Sheena is one of the most well-known feminine comedian guide characters ever created, and one of the earliest in the context of Golden Age American comics. But I really feel sorry for any Golden Age Sheena completists on the market — as a result of some of this materials is as robust because it will get for a classic collector. I’ve by no means even seen a replica of her first look in UK weekly Wags #46, for instance, and I’m undecided I do know anybody who has seen one. And as for her U.S. comedian guide debut in Jumbo Comics #1… that’s one other practically unimaginable comedian guide to get. But the debut of her personal collection in 1942 is an extremely underappreciated Golden Age key. You can get a excessive grade Sheena, Queen of the Jungle #1 (Fiction House, 1942) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages with a lovely cowl by Dan Zolnerowich, and several other different points of the Sheena, Queen of the Jungle collection up for public sale in the 2023 October 19 The Fiction House Comics & Comic Art Showcase Auction #40235 at Heritage Auctions.
