Femforce was a comic book published by AC Comics detailing the adventures of the female heroines, some of them original creations, while others originated in the 1940s and 1950s.

Had to purchase this because it had 4 of my favorite jungle girls, Nyoka the Jungle Girl (1945), Princess Pantha (1946), Tygra of the Flame People (1947) and Cave Girl (1952)
