About This Series:  This series began as an anthology series of assorted jungle stories.  "Jann of the Jungle" was the breakaway character, and the series was soon named after her starting with #8 (November, 1955).  The series lasted through #17 (June, 1957).

Jann was an attractive character, and a bit unique among the vast ocean of Sheena-like clones to come out in the Golden and Silver Ages.  Her hair was jet black, and she seemed to have some kind of non-White ethnicity.  Jann's ethnicity is unclear, but she does have light olive skin.  She was created by writer Don Rico and artist Jay Scott Pike.

Like most of the jungle girl characters from this time, the artwork was stellar and the stories were charming.
