FIGHT COMICS Featuring Tiger Girl Volume 2 Hardcover

Collects #53-68, 1947-50.

The Tiger Girl, created by Robert Webb, started in Fight #32 but only became the cover feature with #51 -- after the run of patriotic WWII covers. Her origin is retold here. Up until #64 all her stories are drawn by the fabulous Matt Baker, master of good-girl art. EC mainstay and Good-Girl artist Jack Kamen and the Iger shop took over after that. She was brought from India to Africa by her father Rajah Vishnu, after the death of her Irish mother. With her whip and her magic tiger ring, which gave her added strength, she protected a lost civilization from outsiders. She became one of Fiction House's longest-lived characters, clearly inspired by the adventures of Sheena Queen of the Jungle. Bondage covers and headlights were common to her stories. Her stories continued to be published until the company ceased operations in 1954 and she starred in many fine, classic covers. Unlike Sheena though, she never got her own title and only appeared in Fight Comics. Tiger Girl ran through #81, so expect one more volume in this series.
