NOT AN ENTRY! But I had to post it. He didn't do a cover, but this is an early Frazetta splash page(1947) from Exciting Comics #59.  |

Cody, your character seems to be wearing city shoes in the jungle. Shoe store in the jungle? Jungle Jimmy Choos. |

One of only two 'Xela' (Alex spelled backwards) covers I ever had, and I suspected it was ever so slightly copied from the Jumbo Comics #78 cover I posted above. The hand and arm holding the bow for instance. I love all those colorful Xelas though, there should be a portfolio set of every one of them (and also the Matt Baker St. Johns while we're at it, I remember a set of Frazetta Famous Funnies was done once).
Sincerely,
(Super) Beccabear Of The Jungle (In Outer Space) |

Sincerely,
(Super) Beccabear Of The Jungle (In Outer Space)I also had this one (long gone), which I found at the Atlanta Fantasy Fair, in 1991. It was one of two issues of Exciting Comics I had, the other being issue #9 (first appearance of the Black Terror). I bought it for the Terror; but, really wish I had just searched for the Jerry Robinson and Mort Meskin issues (which AC Comics reprinted; so, it's all good). The Judy of theJungle story was fine; but, artistically, the best segment is Roger Dodger. Black Terror.....  (Not the best example of the character) Judy of the Jungle...  (I'm amazed that a strapless dress stays up, swinging and running through the jungle. Also note the fact that a constrictor also has venomous fangs) Roger Dodger...  Lot of people getting tied up in this one issue. Makes you wonder if Marston was ghost writing it. |

That pre-1950 criteria made it tough... there are some real killer jungle covers between '50 and '54.
But anyway, from April, 1944-- cover by Alex Schomburg: There are definitely some good ones into the 50's but perhaps that is for a future endeavour should I find myself victorious down the line ... Glad I saw this--I was all set to go with a Cole Terrors of the Jungle cover |

Glad I saw this--I was all set to go with a Cole Terrors of the Jungle cover I would have beat you to it... Cole was the first thing I thought of, but most of his jungle covers were after 1950. |

So, it is possible to ride a zebra? I actually discussed this once with a friend during a trip to the zoo. I think zebras are cool, and I would love to ride one. |

I think zebras are cool, and I would love to ride one. as a fan of the 1980s, I am surprised you are not familiar with this then...  or the one featuring art rather than photos...  I am not sure but they might have homaged the marketing campaign of the Reeves Superman with the tagline-you'll believe a girl can ride a zebra... -M |
