Fiction House knew a winning formula when they saw one. Put a beautiful woman in a fur bikini,
let her loose in the jungle and watch the sales go up. Tiger Girl is a good example of this strategy.
First appearing in Fight Comics #32 in 1944 Tiger Girl was created by Robert Webb although many
of her stories were written by Allan O'Hara. Princess Vishnu also known as the Tiger Girl roamed
the jungles of India with her tiger Benzali and her faithful East Indian companion Abdola. Armed
with a whip, a magic ring that increased her strength, and her wits Tiger Girl battled poachers,
bandits, slavers, unscrupulous treasure seekers, and a multitude of evil doers to protect her
jungle and people. It was only a matter of time until she became Fight Comic's feature character
on the front cover.
What made this series so special was the gorgeous interior artwork by Matt Baker, Jack Kamen, Bob
Webb, Ken Battefield and various other artists in the Iger Shop as well as the covers by Joe Doolin.
Matt Baker's page layouts and his ability to draw alluring women, eerie backdrops and savage
animals make each story a Golden Age gem.
