“Sheena: Queen of the Jungle”



Dynamite Entertainment’s “Sheena: Queen of the Jungle” #5 is written by Wes Clark Jr. and Steven E. De Souza, with illustrations by Ediano Silva and covers by Lucio Parrillo,  Joseph Michael Linsner and Arthur Suydam:


‘…it’s ‘Quatercentenary Day’ at L’école des jeunes filles du Val Verde’. On the agenda: VIPs, a lovely buffet, fireworks and a diabolical crime four hundred years in the making. 


“As the secret police cordon off the campus and more students succumb to the cult of the ‘Blessing Goddess’, mastermind ‘El Caballero’ demonstrates he’s not fucking around — and Sheena has only hours to discover where the bodies are buried before she becomes one herself, as both urban and actual jungle explode with action in this jam-packed final issue…”


"Sheena is the young daughter of African explorer ‘Cardwell Rivington'. On a safari with his daughter, Cardwell dies from drinking a magic potion made by the witch doctor 'Koba'.


"Koba then raises the young girl as his daughter, teaching her 'the ways of the jungle' . 


"The adult Sheena, dancing to the beat of a different drummer, eventually earns the title "Queen of the Jungle"...


"...and acquires a monkey sidekick named 'Chim'...


Sheena has been previously depicted on screen by actress Irish McCalla in a TV series (1955)...


..and by Tanya Roberts in a feature (1984)...
