Trivia

Sheena ran primarily in Jumbo Comics, a publication of Fiction House comics. The reason for the unusual name was that originally the large size plates from the British magazine "All Top" were used for the first five issues, and by the time the TV show came on the air, the run of Jumbo Comics had ended. Sheena appeared in all 153 issues of Jumbo Comics

User Reviews

Irish McCalla!

I've enjoyed the exploits of Sheena : Queen of the Jungle in all of her various incarnations over the years. I've had a ball collecting and following Sheena's adventures from the pulps, comic books, the big screen, and TV. Sheena has been entertaining us for close to 70 years now, but you sure wouldn't know it to look at her. Each time I've encountered Sheena she always looks just as beautiful and sexy as ever! I like both Tanya Roberts and Gina Lee Nolan as Sheena, but my favorite Queen of the Jungle is Irish McCalla. McCalla was absolutely perfect in the role of Sheena. I wish they would release the 1955 Sheena TV series on DVD.
