Lorna, The Jungle Girl #22

Lorna, the Jungle Girl #22 was published in 1957 by Atlas Comics, the precursor to modern-day Marvel. The series was part of the mid-century trend of jungle-themed adventure comics, a genre that flourished in the post-war era alongside titles featuring similar archetypes like Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. These stories were typically episodic, focusing on Lorna's survival and dominance within a stylized, often fictionalized African landscape.

The art and stories of the Atlas era were driven by a fast-paced house style that prioritized visual impact and conventional pulp adventure tropes. While the creative teams on these issues were often uncredited due to the studio practices of the time, the series benefited from the energetic illustration common to Atlas’s adventure line. The books were aimed at a mass-market youth audience, and while they did not achieve the lasting cultural footprint of the Silver Age superheroes that followed shortly after, they remain significant artifacts of a transitional period in comic book history.
