And here you also get the massively collectible airbrush covers by \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Schomburg\u003c\/strong\u003e (as Xela). Princess Pantha was a circus-performing wild animal handler, who went to Africa in search of the legendary giant gorilla M’Gana for her act! She disappeared shortly after setting out -- so Dane Hunter, a famous explorer, set out to find her. Pantha survived in the jungle, utilizing her animal skills, knowledge of jiu-jitsu and primitive weapons.\n\nTogether Pantha and Dane remained in the jungle continuing their quest. Pantha became the cover feature for \u003cem\u003eThrilling, \u003c\/em\u003epublished by Standard Comics (Nedor) on issues #56-74, much as Tiger Girl came along in \u003cem\u003eFight Comics\u003c\/em\u003e and did the same, over at Fiction House...but here with better art!! Jungle Girls were hot stuff in the Golden Age!\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers note: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eComic book stories from the 1940s and 1950s depicted some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American culture. One story, “The Land of the Black Python”, has been cited as an example of racial insensitivity, wherein a white Princess Pantha taught black Africans to overcome racial prejudice in a near-classic example of “blame-the-victim” mentality! Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While not representing the publisher's view of today's society, these stories are printed as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642900414750,"sku":"THRPP01","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/thrpp01-thrilling-comics-princess-pantha-vol-1-book.jpg?v=1784512323","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/thrilling-comics-featuring-princess-pantha-volume-1","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
