Miss Cairo Jones, comics' FIRST female detective!

Created by Bob (Supergirl) Oksner, Miss Cairo Jones was supposed to be a male detective, but because fiction in general, and comics in particular, were already flooded with them, Cairo became a female detective!
Along with new writer Jerry Albert, Oksner illustrated the strip's entire run from 1945 to 1947.
Miss Jones made only one appearance outside of her newspaper comic strip, in a one-shot comic book reprinting the first strip storyline. It is from that issue that we've digitized and remastered the cover art that Atomic Kommie Comics™ now re-presents as part of our Heroines™ line of kool kollectibles which also includes Jane Arden: Crime Reporter, Cave Girl, Jet Dream & Her StuntGirl Counter-Spies, Friday Foster, Miss Fury, Miss Masque (Masquerade), Molly O'Day: Super-Sleuth, Annie Oakley, Phantom Lady, Tiger Girl, and UnderCover Girl!
