Lorna, The Jungle Girl #10

Lorna, the Jungle Girl #10 was published by Atlas Comics, the 1950s predecessor to Marvel, during a period when the jungle adventure genre dominated newsstands. Following the template established by earlier jungle-themed comics, the series focused on Lorna’s escapades in the African wilderness, reflecting the mid-century fascination with exotic pulp adventures that were popular before the industry-wide adoption of the Comics Code Authority.

The character was created by writer Don Rico and artist Werner Roth, who drew inspiration from the success of Tarzan and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. The creative team aimed to blend high-stakes action with a slightly more grounded tone than some of their contemporaries, often placing Lorna in situations where her resourcefulness served as the primary plot driver. While the series was a standard example of its era, it remains a notable artifact of the creative output produced by the Atlas editorial team during the transition toward the Marvel era.
