Jana Sky-Born or Jungle Girl, was born on an unknown island with little to no information about her past. It is still unknown if Jana's parents gave birth to her and left her on the island, or she was on a ship and soon was stranded on the island. Many readers have speculated whether she has lived on the mystery island all her life, or was just placed there. The Jungle has mystical abilities since there are cavemen, dinosaurs, and beats of the Triassic Era. Jana's life of peaceful adventure is stopped abruptly, when a plane with adventurers crashes in her jungle. She has decided to keep them safe until another plane comes to rescue them. 

Jungle Girl is said to have a great resemblance to Hanna-Barbera's cartoon Jana of the Jungle.  Jana and Jungle Girl share the same first name, and have similar origins. While this is only speculation, it is probable that the TV series Jana of the Jungle could be Jungle Girl in the comics. Jana from television was supposed to be a female Tarzan and be an inspiration to women. Jana was adventurous and had a good judge of character, she highly respected women and had a small disliking of men. While Jungle Girl is different, Jana from Comics respects everyone, men and women, shown in this series. However, she isn't afraid to kill both sides to succeed in her mission. This is how the two are different. Jungle Girl Comics were created by Writer/Artist Frank Cho, James Murray, and Adriano Batista. My Tarzan and Jungle Girl comics were never quite like this! This comic book appreciation of the female form goes way back, of course, but it really took off with the stunning Frank Frazetta covers for the Edgar Rice Burroughs books published by Ace Paperbacks in the 1970s. Nobody had ever seen anything quite like it - at last, here was an artist who was prepared to provide a front cover illustration that accurately reflected what you actually read in Burroughs' books. I can't think of a single modern fantasy artist who doesn't pay homage to Frazetta and his pioneering studies of the female form in fantasy. Jungle Girl comics have been around since the middle of the last century, SHEENA, JANA OF THE JUNGLE etc., and there was always the luscious mate of Tarzan, his wife Jane, and his some-time adversary and would-be lover, LA OF OPAR. But it was Frank Cho, the genius behind LIBERTY MEADOWS, who took the Jungle Girl idea and made it his own. His inimitable style suits the female form in a scanty leopard-skin bikini perfectly. The stories are much as you might have read in the Sheena and Jana comics back in the previous golden age of American comics (I say previous, because I believe we're on the threshhold of a new golden age, expecially with the likes of Frank Cho, Adriano Batista et al producing such magnificent pictures as are to be found in these two stunningly beautiful volumes). What's different is the sheer beauty of the heroine, and perfect proportions, the hair, the breasts, the buttocks and the thighs - all mouthwateringly beautiful in my opinion. These are already collectors' items, and rightly so. No one nowadays has a feel for the female form quite like these two brilliant artists - not even Boris, who seems to have gone all the way over to the body-builder female form, and quite deserted the gracious beauty of his earlier works. Both of these volumes have plenty of Frank Cho front covers to admire, and Batista's are also there. These are a dream to read.
