JUNGLE GIRLS
Jungle person is an archetype or stock character, often used in popular fiction, of a female adventurer or superhero in the jungles or rain forests of, primarily, Africa. The jungle girl is generally depicted as barefoot and wearing a scanty animal skin as a dress or bikini. Though hair color varied, they are often depicted with long blonde hair. They are the female counterpart of such characters as Tarzan.
Jungle girls are often highly intelligent and some can communicate with animals. They are strong fighters, runners and swimmers, with high endurance levels, and often swing through trees on vines. Jungle girls often come into conflict with civilization and hostile tribes, often to find peaceful solutions to preserve their jungle environments.
The first such character was Rima from the 1904 novel Green Mansions. One popular character, adapted into various media, is Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, who, though created by American writer-artists Will Eisner and Jerry Iger, made her debut in the British magazine Wags #1 (1937). Sheena went on to star in the American comic book anthology series Jumbo Comics the following year.

Dynamite Entertainment is a comic book publisher founded in 2005, first producing two Army of Darkness limited series published through Devil's Due Publishing until self-publishing their titles later that year.
Dynamite Entertainment focuses primarily on comic book adaptations of existing properties, with most of their 'original' properties being new interpretations of the public domain classic monsters Dracula, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein's monster and the Wolf Man. Currently they hold the rights to publish titles based on films (Army of Darkness, Darkman and Highlander), television series (both original and modern Battlestar Galactica and Xena: Warrior Princess) and literature (Re-Animator, Zorro). They also have a license based on Terminator 2: Judgment Day and writer Simon Furman produced Terminator 2: Infinity and the sequel Terminator: Revolution.[1] Other properties include Buck Rogers,[2][3] Sherlock Holmes,[4] and The Green Hornet.[5]
Two additional crossovers have been released through other companies, one through Image Comics in 2005 pitting their monsters against Top Cow published characters Witchblade, the Darkness, the Magdalena and Tomb Raider entitled Monster War; and a 2006 crossover between DC Comics' Claw the Unconquered and Red Sonja via Wildstorm.
Dynamite hit the news in 2007 when they took over the publication of Garth Ennis' The Boys after it was dropped by Wildstorm.
Dynamite has a reputation for issuing multiple variant covers for their comics. Issues of Red Sonja, Army of Darkness and Battlestar Galactica (among others) have been published with 4 different regular covers, as well as various incentive covers used to drive up retailers orders. This practice is often one of the main criticisms of the company.
At the 2008 Wizard World Chicago conference it was announced that Dynamite have acquired the license from Rebellion Developments to publish reprints of 2000 AD titles, as well as produce new material based on their characters, the first of which will be a Judge Dredd comic book, to be written by John Wagner, with input from Garth Ennis.[6][7]
That year they started publishing Zorro. In 2009 they announced plans to publish Fighting American.

AC Comics is a comic book publishing company started by Bill Black.[1][2]
AC Comics was founded as Paragon Publications in 1969, and was briefly known as Americomics in 1982, before becoming AC in 1984. It was one of the initial quartet of independent color comics companies who pioneered the direct sales phenomenon in the early 1980s, targeting specialty comic book shops rather than newsstands or other venues.
Today, AC Comics specializes in reprints of Golden Age comics from now-defunct companies whose properties lapsed into public domain and were not reprinted elsewhere. It also publishes a number of Modern Age adventures starring the Golden Age superheroes that appeared in those stories. The most famous of those titles is Femforce, which features the adventures of an all-female superhero team, one of the first teams of this nature in the comics industry.
Based on their focus on Golden Age reprints and stories inspired by that style, AC has developed a reputation for straight-forward, fun, and action-packed superhero tales which often avoid the darker themes of many modern comics. AC artists often make use of a style known as "good girl art," made popular in the Golden Age era, which combines attractive, clean linework with elements of cheesecake and humor. In addition to superheroes, AC has attempted to preserve other comic book genres inspired by the series of the past, such as Westerns and jungle adventure.
Following the popularity of size-changing Femforce members Garganta and Tara, AC made the giantess concept a recurring theme in their comics. Tapping into this cult following, AC has released stories and anthologies specifically catered to fans of giant women, as well as DVD releases which embrace this theme in the tongue-in-cheek style of 1950s science fiction B-movies. An ongoing giantess feature known as Gargantarama has even been added to the company's Femforce title.
Additionally, AC has expanded into other DVD projects which collect classic movie serials and other material now in the public domain, as well as low-budget films based on their own characters.
