Jana rocks. She is invincible and powerful killing large beasts with her bare hands. A high excitement wonderfully illustrated adventure.
This has to be the campiest pulp that ever pulped it's way across a camping parlour.Translation: If you take life too seriously you will not enjoy this book, for everyone else its not a bad read.What has to be stated up front is that the art on display is great and its for this reason that this book works at all. In a world where quality artwork seems to be becoming less and less important to mainstream publishers; I ended up finding this series art style to be very refreshing.The story itself i...
Dynamite comics publishes a whole sub genre of comics featuring scantily clad heroines resurrected from or inspired by pulp fiction. This one is an incredibly dopey but highly entertaining version of a female Tarzan. Here she and her caveman-like sidekick try to lead a dubious band of plane crash survivors to safety in the face of numerous dinosaur attacks. This leads to lots of action, a surprising amount of gore and very little sense. What's a white girl doing in the middle of a prehistoric ju...
Jungle Girl by Frank Cho and Doug Murray is fun and sexy and just good B movie fun.Summary - Jana the Jungle Girl lives in a dangerous land that time has somehow forgotten.

So when a plane full of modern day men and one hot girl crash land, Jana knows its up to her to rescue and care for these strangers. But these strangers are not so helpless and innocent. They are carrying a cargo of cocaine and
campy, campy, campy.but fun, fun, fun.Very nice and sexy artwork.The story is one comic-book cliché after another, one cliff-hanger after another.But its just so darn fun... sit back and enjoy the ride.
I had my doubts since Cho wasn't drawing the book, just doing the covers, but the artwork is fantastic. the coloring is especially impressive and really highlights characters expressions. the plot is quite routine, but that is to be expected when you pick up a book like this. it perfectly captures the by-gone pulp jungle book era.
Remove the porn-star body and the dumb bikini, and you'd actually have a decent Jules Verne-esque story with a strong female protagonist.
The story isn't aiming for realism and the only mature thing is the way the main character is drawn. The plot is pulled straight out of the pulp genre, but if you enjoy Warlord of Mars, then you should be ok. The target audience for this comic seems to be no older than teenage level, though.Jana shows us her stuff from very flattering angles, often gratuitously. It's the sole reason I'm reading the comic. If you're put off by half-naked women, then this one isn't for you. There may just be too m...
A fun. campy, sexy little book in the vein of the pulp novels of old. An adventure full of non-stop action complemented by brilliant artwork this book as light as it is entertaining. There are dinosaurs, tribes of cavemen, lost greenhorns and a scantily clad heroine. This is the type of book they just don't write anymore and I wished they did.
The art is excellent but but the story is a little slow. Not in terms of action as there is plenty of that but this first volume ends with so many unanswered questions. Better than I remembered it from my first read though. And as I say the art is superb. The dinosaurs look great. And yes the lead character is designed as she is but despite the pinup looks the character is a fighter and strong so I'll forgive it.
This is like an old campy "B" movie. Jungle Girl helps a group of people when their plane crashlands on an island full of dinosaurs. Great art, a fun adventure story.
I'd give it a four for the art, and a two for the story. My copy has a different cover. I enjoyed it. The main issue with the story was that there was no real central plot. Jungle Girl finds the survivors of a crashed plane and decides to escort them to safety. We don't know where safety is to be found so we're not sure of the destination. Mostly they seem to be driven by things that are after them. Jungle Girl then becomes almost fanatical about saving the group for reasons we don't really unde...
