Who was the first female comic book character to have her own title? If you guessed Wonder Woman you're wrong. It was Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, who was created by Will Eisner and Jerry Iger. She first appeared in the British magazine Wags #1 (1937) and then she got her own title in the spring of 1942. While Wonder Woman #1 didn't make its premiere until the summer of 1942. Sheena has been adapted into two live-action television series (1955 & 2000) and a feature film (1984).
