Young Nyoka was brought to the jungle by her father, who through using his medical knowledge to help the local natives, was given control of the tribe's diamond mine. Nyoka's dad was subsequently killed by crooks and Nyoka, using her skills must recover a sacred amulet. All of that plus more was just in her first comic book appearance. Nyoka would go on to battle poachers, thieves, weird mutants, and a variety of other protagonists threatening her and her jungles.
