She was brought from India to Africa by her father Rajah Vishnu, after the death of her Irish mother. She was an excellent leader andpretty good in a fight, especially when she used her whip and her tiger ring, which gave her added strength when she looked at it and was accompanied by her companions: Benzali, a tiger, and Abdola, an Indian man. She protected her lost civilization from outsiders and others who meant harm. House artists Joe Doolin and Maurice Whitman produced a number of memorable Tiger Girl covers starting with Fight Comics #49 replacing Señorita Rio and staying on the cover until her very last appearance in Fight Comics #81. She ultimately became one of Fiction House's longest-lived characters - her stories continued to be published for over a decade until the company ceased operations in 1954.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "October 1946-October 1949!" Collects Stories from Thrilling Comics (1940-1951 Better/Nedor/Standard) #56-75. Cover by Alex Schomburg. Princess Pantha was a circus-performing wild animal handler who went to Africa in search of the legendary giant gorilla M'Gana for her act! She disappeared shortly after setting out-so Gilt-edge Gates, the owner of The National Circus hired Dane Hunter, a famous explorer to find her. After discovering her safari had been wiped out by an unknown hostile native tribe and she'd saved herself by using her ability to make an extra-loud gorilla call, which the natives mistook for the approach of M'Gana and fled. Princess Pantha had survived in the jungle for two months now, utilizing her animal skills, knowledge of jiu-jitsu and a few primitive weapons. Together Pantha and Dane remained in the jungle and continued their quest to capture the legendary giant gorilla M'Gana! Comic book stories from the 1940s and 1950s depicted some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American culture. While not representing the publisher's view of today's society, these stories are printed as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Hardcover, 208 pages, full color. Cover price $52.99.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1969-1970!" Story and art by Harry Lindfield. Published in the U.S. for the first time! In 1969, six months before the Star Trek TV series premiered in England, British comics readers were introduced to the characters in an original comic-book series. The stories were serialized, generally 2 to 3 pages at a time, in 257 weekly magazines spanning five years and 37 storylines. These extremely rare comics have never been published in the United States. Star Trek fans will quickly note that the comics were not written with strict adherence to Star Trek's core concepts. But it's precisely that "offness" that makes them so eminently readable and deserving of a proper reprinting. They're unique in the annals of Star Trek and fans have gone without them for far too long. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 244 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $49.99.
