Biography

to be written

Raised in an unremarkable American suburb, Gwenna eventually met the dashing adventurer Kaza.

The Serpent Sorceress

When the serpent priestess Narlana returned, hoping to revive the snake cult and get revenge upon Kaza, Gwenna helped stop her schemes. This adventure saw her first encounter with George Wimberly.

Situation on Earth-N

Kaza and Gwenna were once asked by Jenny Anywhere to aid her on Earth-N.

The Gwen Davis of Earth-N worked as a district attorney in New York City; on one memorable occasion Jenny Anywhere brought the Gwenna from the Naked Jungle to her world to stand in for her during an adventure. (COMIC: Situation on Earth-N)

Unlike the Gwenna of Reality Z-25 31-H, who is a nudist in a world where most people wear clothes, D.A. Davis prefers to go about fully dressed in a world where nudity is popular and commonplace.

Behind the scenes

Origins

Gwenna originated as an obscure public-domain character in the adventures of Jo-Jo, Jungle King. She appeared as Jo-Jo's love interest in the first story in the character's debut issue, where she was depicted as the Queen of the Bonangi. Notably, although she was coloured as white, nothing in the script indicated this. In the next story, Gwenna was replaced with the identically-drawn Geesha — likewise coloured as white, but outright depicted in the script as the daughter of a black man.

Gwenna names The Skull as an opponent that Kaza particularly dislikes.

Jay Epps paired a rebooted form of Gwenna with an unrelated public-domain “jungle king” character, Kaza, for his webcomic Kaza's Mate, Gwenna. Epps's Gwenna was officially Caucasian, being given a new backstory explaining her presence in the jungle, and eliminating the “queen” element. In her first outing, Epps's Gwenna shared her Golden Age counterpart's black hair. In the next story, Ruthless Ro-Man, this was changed to a dark, reddish brown and finally to outright red hair, which she retained throughout the rest of the webcomic.
