Jumbo 98 - including a double cover. I've always liked the composition on this one with the reciprocal parallel lines of the gun and spear. I think it really draws the eye to the competing directions of violence.

Jumbo 100 - Just think, if Jumbo was published now, there would be a dozen cover variants for this. In 1947, nary a word.

The other parallel aspect to the design is how Sheena's body aligns to the curvature of the tusks. Definitely an attractive composition.

I've not paid any attention to this cover before but I like everything about it. Sheena is gorgeous and there's great depth and detail to the scene.

I consider this to be one of the Sheena-sitting-in-a-tree-about-to-attack motif made famous in issue 52, and 63, and 73, and 78, and 82, and 89, and 90...

 

It's a common one for Robin Hood illos as well as being used elsewhere in comics like Schomburg's Exciting 57 that you posted earlier.
