Princess Pantha

Princess Pantha is a heroine from Nedor Comics' Thrilling Comics.

Princess Pantha is one of the many characters inspired by Sheena, Queen of the Jungle that appeared in in the 1940s. Her origin story is told in her first appearance: Pantha is a circus performer visiting Africa to find a legendary wild gorilla for her act. She was accidentally stranded in the jungles of Africa for several months, and survived by virtue of her ability to sound like a gorilla. She soon replaces her Western clothing with her trade-mark leopard-skin bikini. Even after being rescued by adventurer Dane Hunter, Pantha decides to stay in Africa to search for the mysterious white gorilla.

The adventures of Princess Pantha appeared in Thrilling Comics from issue #56 until #74 (October 1949), when she was replaced by stories about cowboy Buck Ranger. Art Saaf illustrated most of Pantha's stories, with Alex Schomburg drawing all her cover appearances.

Princess Pantha has no superhuman powers. She is highly athletic, is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and has mastery of jiu-jitsu. She is an accomplished animal trainer.
