Her shapely figure squeezed into an improbable leopard skin swimsuit, Sheena’s sex appeal helped to make her a hit and something of a trendsetter. Likewise, Wonder Woman-widely considered the first female superhero-arrived on the scene four years after the comic studio of Will Eisner and Jerry Iger created Sheena, Queen of the Jungle in 1937. More than that, they were among the first: the comic-strip incarnation of Tarzan predates the exploits of Superman and Batman. Jungle-based stories in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan novels were a core subgenre of adventure comics during the Golden Age. There was a time when a muscle-bound hero of the comics may well have come not with a primary-coloured suit, but an animal skin not a backdrop of city skyscrapers, but a collection of vines and not a teenage sidekick, but a faithful chimpanzee. But for past generations, this would not necessarily have been the case. Imagine an archetypal comic hero, and you will likely picture some combination of spandex, a cape, external underpants, and a nifty set of superpowers.
