Marvel Fanfare #56


Marvel Fanfare (1982-1992) #56
This issue marks the beginning of a 4 issue-spanning story involving Shanna the She-Devil. Though it has a similar premise of a young woman who becomes the female version of Tarzan, Shanna is not to be confused with Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Though I swear the two could be sisters and nobody would blink an eye.

With art from the great Carmine Infantino, Shanna has arrived in LA to undergo therapy to control her wild jungle nature. But a trio of cat-people have a plan to turn Shanna and some of Tinsel Town’s B-listers into trained assassins.
 
The art is very good. But the story, originally drawn in the late 70s, this story never saw the light of day until now (circa 1992.) It’s the cover of this book that’s very visually stunning and an all-time fav.


Worth Consuming.

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
