Jungle #162 Tiger Girl Splash by Maurice Whitman

First appearnce of Simba the Lion King!  This proves that Simba came before Kimba the white lion and Simba was not a rip off of the anime!

Regarding the last two panels, it is not a weapon it is at best a temporary distraction. I presume the next page showed him being mauled and eaten by the lion? Also, would a tiger be friendly with someone who was wearing the skin of another cat or is it getting ready to revenge a fallen comrade? These are the sort of questions you should be answering in your description. Ah, the dreams of youth when one thought scantily clad ladies ran around like this.

?Crack that whip!?

This is spectacular!

This is gorgeous Jeff, awesome Fiction House art! I never collected any of the art but I used to collect as many of the comic books (in whatever condition I could afford at the times), which I later sold the entire collection of to fund original art (of course lol). 

~Congratulations on getting a cool Golden Age title page!
