FANTOMAH Ð MYSTERY WOMAN OF THE JUNGLE is historic, because she was the first
female super-hero in comics, pre-dating even Wonder Woman! She was originally
conceived by Fletcher Hanks and debuted in JUNGLE COMICS #2. There were ultimately
two very-different incarnations of FANTOMAH Ð in later issues she was ÒDaughter of
PharoahsÓ and had quite a different back story. But whether mystery woman or Egyptian
royalty, she was a mainstay of Jungle Comics through issue #51 Ð and this is a complete
collection of all her stories!
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics
are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as
possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need
to be considered when judging the overall contents.
