Fantomah, "Mystery Woman of the Jungle", is a female comic-book superhero created by writer-artist Fletcher Hanks, under the pseudonym Barclay Flagg. She debuted in a namesake backup feature in "Jungle Comics" #2 (Feb. 1940), and continued as a backup feature until her final appearance in issue #51 (March 1944). Beginning with issue #16 (April 1941), Hanks was succeeded by an unknown writer under the pseudonym H.B Hovious, with art tentatively credited to Robert Pious. This version of Fantomah abandoned the trappings of a superheroine and was portrayed as a typical jungle girl.
