Sheena is Queen of all. Sheena Fun Facts: • Sheena debuted in Joshua B. Power's British magazine Wags #46 in January 1938 -- created by Will Eisner and S. M. "Jerry" Iger. • Eisner said an inspiration for the character's name was H. Rider Haggard's 1886 jungle-goddess novel She. • Sheena first appeared stateside in Fiction House's Jumbo Comics #1, and subsequently in every issue (Sept. 1938 – April 1953), as well as in her groundbreaking 18-issue spin-off, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (Spring 1942 – Winter 1952), the first comic book to title-star a female character. • Fiction House, originally a pulp magazine publisher, ran prose stories of its star heroine in the latter-day pulp one-shot Stories of Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (Spring 1951) and Jungle Stories vol. 5 #11 (Spring 1954).
