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 [https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Geesha Geesha] — likewise coloured as white, but outright depicted in the script as the daughter of a black man. | Gwenna originated as an obscure public-domain character in the adventures of ''Jo-Jo, Jungle King''.

[[Jay Epps]] paired a rebooted form of Gwenna with an unrelated public-domain “jungle king” character, [[Kaza]], for his webcomic ''[[Kaza's Mate, Gwenna (series)|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 [[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|first outing]], Epps's Gwenna shared her Golden Age counterpart's black hair. In the next story, ''[[Ruthless Ro-Man (comic 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. | [[File:Room of Scrutiny week two 01 by Jay042 (Skull is our arch-enemy).jpg|left|thumb|[[Gwenna]] names [[Skull|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 (series)|Kaza's Mate, Gwenna]]''.
