(Jungle Comics 005, 1940)
Conceptually, I love the Ant Woman, a ruthless bandit who lives in a giant anthill and sends swarms of venomous ants out to kill and loot for her. I particularly love her little ant tiara - is it the source of her preternatural ability to control the beasts? I cannot say for they did not go into that.
(these pics are a bit more racist than I usually go for but they really front loaded it on this one. Just one of the reasons that jungle comics are inferior to other comic genres)
The Ant Woman makes a solid go of trying to dispose of the Red Panther but he ultimately gets the upper hand by the simple method of setting her anthills on fire and once again the old saying is proven true: you live by the swarm of venomous ants; you die by the swarm of venomous ants.
