Salutations, noble comic book savages! In this episode, our intrepid
explorers Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) plumb the depths
of the dark interior of the African continent when they read Jungle Comics
#2, published by Fiction House in 1940! They go through all nine(!)
stories within the issues, providing creator bios and background
information where applicable, with a special emphasis on the ninth
story--the first appearance of the first female superhero, Fantomah by
Fletcher Hanks! Then, after a break, the stalwart adventurers detail the
life of Fantomah, and give a brief history of Fiction House, a seminal
Golden Age comics publisher. You'll like the jungle so much, you'll
never want to go back to Greystoke!
BREAK: Promo for the JLMay 2018 Podcasting/Blog crossover event, we're going over DC Comics' Silver Age event from 2000!
