Sheena, Queen of the Jungle is a fictional, American comic book jungle girl heroine, published originally by Fiction House. She possessed the ability to communicate with the wild animals after having grown up with them since being orphaned in the jungle. She was fiercely proficient in fighting with knives, spears, and bows, and improvised with makeshift weapons. Her primary ability was to surprise her opponents, either human or animal. She was the first female comic-book character with her own title, with her Spring 1942 premiere beating Wonder Woman #1 (Summer 1942) by three months. Sheena, herself a distaff Tarzan, inspired a wealth of similar comic-book jungle queens.

And other stories.
