Thanks, Grant, and I hope you’ll give it a try. And you’re right, we have set ourselves up for a Herculean task.
But we like a lot of the same books you like, most notably that wonderful Ka-Zar run from the 80s.

If you give it a try, be sure to let us know what you think. Issue #1 should be on sale in 2 weeks!

Don’t care for the art I’m seeing there and any attempts to make a Jungle Girl themed comic “relevant” seems like a herculean task. I hope they pull it off although I’m not impressed with their Domino Lady stuff at all.

I have enjoyed the genre in the past, with things like Brent Andersons Kazar and Shanna stories and that 70s Rima series. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy well done cheesecake. Some of Frank Cho’s Jungle Girl art is very…er..”appealing”?

I recently purchased Marvel Masterworks “Jungle Adventure” with “Lorna the Jungle Girl” that was actually pretty fun with some attractive art by Werner Roth and Jim Mooney.
