Synopsis: FICTION HOUSE - FIGHT COMICS : Featuring TIGER GIRL
December 1947 - May 1950 Issues 53 - 68
The Tiger Girl, created by Robert Webb, was also known as Princess Vishnu. She was brought from India
to Africa by her father Rajah Vishnu, after the death of her Irish mother. She was an excellent leader and
pretty good in a fight, especially when she used her whip and her tiger ring, which gave her added strength
when she looked at it and was accompanied by her companions: Benzali, a tiger, and Abdola, an Indian
man. She protected her lost civilization from outsiders and others who meant harm.
House artists Joe Doolin and Maurice Whitman produced a number of memorable Tiger Girl covers
starting with Fight Comics #49 replacing Señorita Rio and staying on the cover until her very last
appearance in Fight Comics #81. She ultimately became one of Fiction House's longest-lived characters -
her stories continued to be published for over a decade until the company ceased operations in 1954.
Tiger Girl first appeared in Fight Comics #32 (June 1944) published by Fiction House. She appeared a
further 33 times in Fight comics, plus 12 appearances in Jungle Girls and 11 appearances in Jungle Comics.
