Lorna, The Jungle Queen #2

Lorna, the Jungle Queen #2 was published by Atlas Comics, the 1950s predecessor to Marvel, in 1954. This title emerged during a period when the jungle girl genre, popularized by characters like Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, was a staple of comic book shelves. The series followed the adventures of Lorna, who was portrayed as a protector of her African jungle domain, navigating various threats ranging from wild beasts to treasure hunters.

The character was created by writer Don Rico and artist Werner Roth. Roth's illustrations leaned into the aesthetic conventions of the era, focusing on dynamic action sequences and lush, atmospheric environments. While the series was part of a crowded marketplace of adventure comics, it remains a notable example of the mid-century Atlas era, representing the publisher's attempts to diversify its output beyond the more dominant horror and western genres of the time.
