Shanna the She-Devil is a fictional jungle adventurer in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Carole Seuling and penciller George Tuska, she made her first appearance in ''Shanna the She-Devil'' #1 (Dec. 1972) and was ranked 53rd in ''Comics Buyer's Guide's'' "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list. ==Publication history== ''Shanna the She-Devil'' was introduced in one of a trio of Marvel Comics aimed at a female audience, alongside ''Night Nurse'' and ''Claws of the Cat''. Marvel writer-editor Roy Thomas recalled in 2007 that editor-in-chief Stan Lee Seuling in 2010 recalled,"My instructions were to make () someone who would fit in with the times and also was prone to a little more violence than Sheena or the other jungle queens of the past." With veteran penciler George Tuska, she created the lead character and her two leopard companions, as well as game warden and potential romantic interest Patrick McShane, loosely based on after actor Patrick McGoohan's game-warden character in the film ''Nor the Moon by Night''.〔Seuling in Buttery, p. 5〕 The writer Steve Gerber, in his first assignment for Marvel Comics,〔Steve Gerber in letters page, ''Daredevil'' #115 (Nov. 1974)〕 supplied additional dialogue for that first issue, as well as the next. Seuling explained,
This initial series ran five issues (Dec. 1972 - Aug. 1973), with Jim Steranko drawing the covers of #1-2, John Buscema and Joe Sinnott of issue #3, and John Romita Sr. of the final two issues.〔(''Shanna the She-Devil'' (Marvel, 1972 Series) ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 The character went on to a series of guest appearances, first in the jungle lord comic ''Ka-Zar'' #1 (Jan. 1974); then in a storyline running through the superhero comics ''Daredevil'' #109-111 (May–July 1974) and ''Marvel Two-in-One'' #3 (May 1974), which supplied additional details about Shanna's past and family, and notes McShane's murder by the supervillainess Nekra in the interim; in ''Daredevil'' #117 (Jan. 1975); and in a Ka-Zar story in the black-and-white, mature-audience comics magazine ''Savage Tales'' #8 (Jan. 1975).〔Buttery, p. 6〕 Shanna then starred in two solo stories in ''Savage Tales'' #9-10 (March & May 1975) by writer Carla Conway (assisted by then-husband Gerry Conway on the former), with pencil art by, respectively, Tony DeZuniga and Ross Andru.〔(Shanna the She-Devil ) (character) at the Grand Comics Database〕 In the first of these two stories, Shanna's leopards Ina and Biri are killed. Gerry Conway recalled in 2010 that this "was part of the strategy to make her a stronger, fiercer character in the ''Savage Tales'' mode. It also raised the stakes for her personally, and by eliminating these 'rivals' for her affections opened her up to a relationship with Ka-Zar",〔 whom she would eventually marry, in ''Ka-Zar the Savage #29 (Dec. 1983).〔Buttery, p. 8〕 In the meantime, Shanna starred in a backup story in ''The Rampaging Hulk'' #9 (June 1978), by writer Gerber and artist DeZuniga.〔 She then starred in several eight-page solo stories in the omnibus title ''Marvel Comics Presents'', beginning with a tale by writer-artist Bruce Jones in issue #13 (Late Feb. 1989), followed by the 10-part "The Bush of Ghosts", by writer Gerard Jones and penciler Paul Gulacy in issues #68-77 (Jan.-Late May 1991).〔 Dovetailing with the end of that run came four full-length stories begun in 1978, completing plot threads from Shanna's solo story in ''The Rampaging Hulk'' #9. Written by Gerber and penciled by Carmine Infantino, Bret Blevins (two stories, the first credited as "A. Novice") and DeZuniga, these non-chronological, essentially flashback stories ran in ''Marvel Fanfare'' #56-59 (April-Oct. 1991).〔 The title's editor, Al Milgrom, unearthed the unpublished stories because Marvel has also published alternate-universe versions of Shanna, unrelated except for the name. Shanna was featured in the ''Marvel NOW!'' book titled ''Savage Wolverine''. The new series, written and drawn by Frank Cho, debuted in January 2013. The title is a team-up story with Shanna and Wolverine as they try to survive the Savage Land together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shanna the She-Devil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
