JUNGLE QUEENS ON THE SCREEN

Here is the incredible story behind JUNGLE QUEENS from SHE to SHEENA. At one time, it was an international craze. Unlike other superheroes, like Superman, who appeared in comics before their screen debut, the #JungleQueens appeared in the movies first. Then in the #comics.
The first Jungle Queen movie screened in 1899. That is 38 years before Jungle Queen comics!

A few of those films would include Haggard's 1899 'She, The Pillar of Fire,' 'Perils of the Jungle' in 1927, 'The Savage Girl' in 1932, and 'Queen of the Jungle' in 1935.

In 1937 #Sheena was the first Jungle Queen comic. Sheena was the first comic dedicated solely to a female character, a historic milestone, and a hit on the newsstand. Suddenly Hollywood ramped up Jungle Queen productions. Movies inspired comics and comics inspired films. Media companies and publishers were cashing in.

Like the Jungle Comics, Jungle Queen Movies had tapered off from the mid-1950s forward. But in other ways, the Jungle Queen lives on. The dominant, independent exotic woman lives on in many of today’s movies and comics. Consider #TheHungerGames Catching Fire (2013), #TombRaider (2018), #BlackPanther (2018) and #DoraAndTheLostCityOfGold (2019). These are the offspring of the Jungle Queens with that the dominant, independent exotic woman who lives on and always will. We have always needed her. The queen who "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed." Long live the #Amazonians.
