Jungle Girls

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

You know, it's not the footwear that makes Jann of the Jungle seem less appealling than Sheena after all. After all, I did give Khanna those skins that cover half of her feet... Honestly, it's the super-clean look of her clothing that kinda kills her jungle cred. She reminds me a LOT more of Nyoka from Republic Pictures' Jungle Girl.

Also, I'm glad you liked the image of Khanna. It's her second picture, so I guess that makes her somewhat recurring. But I've already got a third image in mind, so we'll see what happens...

Good call on the Nyoka-resemblance, BD. Also, I totally agree on that outfit. It looks way too superhero'ey for the jungle environs.

Time for alittle Kaanga & friends... 😛aw:

The thrilling conclusion! :happy:

Dude. I loved that one. That's pure pulp classic. Kaanga seems like he might have been fashioned after Buster Crabbe from the look of him. Oh well, he's still a badass!

Probably a good call, there, J.J. Buster Crabbe was huge around that time.




The Betty made one HELL of a jungle girl too, of course...

"harreee!!!"

It's time for more Sheena: Queen of the Jungle!

Ignore the 1999 copyright, these are real-deal 'Golden Age' reprints, or my name ain't Rib Tickl...er, uh - well, you know what I mean. 😛aw:

[The Thrilling Conclusion!]

Freaking awesome!

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Freaking awesome!

Aren't they? I love how they could tell a walloping huge yarn in the space of five or six pages with the funny-books of yore.

But...I'm back from the brush with some fresh jungle boogedy-boo for you. Granted, one is closer to "swamp", and another to "forest", but all are lavish portrayals of feral-babes, running around half-nekkid, flirting with danger.

Bungle in the jungle...

There's no way you can really prepare yourself for the thrilling, mystical adventures of...Tiger Girl! (Rawr!) 😛aw:

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I like B/W-art.

You know I was thinking. This could be the new pirates vs. ninjas. Cave Girls vs. Jungle Girls! The wild, savage, sexy battle to end all battles.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

OR, space-babes vs cave-girls!

I'll wager on the cave/jungle amazons. Home-field advantage and all...

But, yeah! Cave vs jungle girls could be an entire bleeding series(comic/film/TV/radio/story) in and of itself! I'm not sure who I'd side with in that matchup.
Best bet probably would be just to stay-the-hell out of the way until the dust settles.


My money's on Leopard Girl! 😛aw: (rawr!)

I have a weakness for catsuits, you see... :blush

[the_jimmy_james]

Super awesome!!!! I give thanks!!

"Everything's bound to get wet..."

I also dragged back these Joe Jusko illos(first two)!

Spend an extra second on that third pic with me: :scared

The last one? Cripes. I couldn't decide between "space" vs. "jungle"...

Three more color shots before we move downriver into B&W territory.
