Table of ContentsTable of Contents Introduction Not all the heroes of the Golden Age of Comics wore masks, costumes, and capes. Prepare for the lowdown on their non-super brethren (and sisters). The Jungle Line Take a jungle lord, turn him into a jungle lady, put him in a skimpy leopard-skin suit, and you have Sheena. And Camilla. And Tiger Girl. And Taanda. And Rulah. And … well, go ahead and read about ’em, already. Science Fiction Theater Think Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers were the only space guys in comics? It’s time you met the interplanetary idols of Planet Comics and all their rocket-riding cohorts! The Adventurers Possibly the most basic (and no less exciting) heroes of all. Pirates, spies, detectives, soldiers, sailors, and all the other guys and gals who made trouble their business, and business was booming back then. Once Upon a Time, in the Westerns Cowboy heroes were massive in the media of the 1930s to the 1960s, and comics brought them to four-color life. The Vigilante, the Two-Gun Kid, American Eagle, Annie Oakley, and tons of others made their presence known (including a long ton of movie and TV adaptations), and we’ve rounded up all the ones that started before 1950.
