DORNA dukes it out with dorks, and then with rival CLAUDIA.CHAMPIONS COMICS #2 (1940) launched a series entitled NEPTINA, about the titular queen of an undersea civilization, oriented upon conquering the world-- sort of a "SHE of the sea." The first four episodes concentrated on two land-humans, a male and a female, trying to win free of Neptina's domain. Issue #6, though, she used scientific techniques to give herself the capacity to breathe air and assumed a human appearance to study modern surface culture. Some hoods notice that she's carrying pearls for money and they capture and rob her, after which they try to drown her. Big mistake.
Here's Dream Girl putting thugs in dreamland.
An Old-West botanist becomes fascinated with rare flowers consecrated by an Indian god of evil. He sees (or imagines) the flowers becoming women, and he becomes so besotted with them that his jealous wife tries to destroy the blooms. The botanist kills her, but the murdered woman appears among the flower-harem and kills him-- though the "realistic" explanation is that he was killed by breathing poisonous fumes.
Various scenes from SHEENA #2.
Disappointingly, "Black Orchid of Death" introduces competition for Sheena in the hot "Orchid Princess" Twan, but there's no final struggle between the two jungle queens: Twan just loses out on hunky Bob and kills her advisor in retaliation.
In what might be called a "true crime of the West," "The Two Gun Gal" charts the rise and fall of tough gang-leader Jeanne Bonnet, seen here catfighting with a saloon girl named Lu-Lu.
