About Further Adventures of Nyoka the Jungle Girl
*One of the longest-running jungle-themed heroines returns, with both new stories and vintage Golden Age reprints. Starting out as a movie serial, Republic Pictures “The Jungle Girl” and “Perils Of Nyoka” (released in 1941 and 1942, respectively) inspired Fawcett Comics to release a Nyoka one-shot entitled Jungle Girl. Two years later, she began a regular run in Master Comics, and soon after, her own book, Nyoka the Jungle Girl, that ran until Fawcett ceased all comic publication in 1953. Picked up by Charlton after that, she continued in Zoo Funnies and a new series of her own book until 1957. Not of the vine-swinging, bikini-wearing variety, Nyoka ran a shop in a village on the edge of the wilderness, and dressed in a cute, short-shorts and boots “white hunter” type outfit. But she was at home in the jungle, and as tough as they come.
