(Translated from Italian)...Jungle Lil is the ennesima tarzanella raised from an aboriginal head after the dead women of the parents. Flowing chioma brown clear, bikini (not provoking) of ghepardo, Jungle Lil, to say the truth, did not have much happening. Perhaps difficult to explain of the reason, it goes searched in the fascinating wefts not much. And to say that, physically, the numbers did not lack to them. (So now you know!)

When his parents died, the infant Banok was adopted by King Banok and raised as his son. Then, in 1940, Carnov attempted to usurp the throne of Bakan. He killed King Banok but Prince Banok escaped. Not much later, Prince Banok was attacked by one of Carnov's supporters. Although he wasn't killed, he was wounded and his blood sprayed upon the statue of the tiger-god Baka. The statue then came to life. With its help, Prince Banok was able to defeat Carnov's men and win back the throne in a duel with Carnov. Info from http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/centaur.html

The JSA's origins date back to 1940, when, under the direction of President Roosevelt, eight of America's greatest 'mystery men' thwarted Adolf Hitler's proposed invasion of England. The first story simply portrayed the first meeting of the Justice Society of America, at which the various members recounted their own solo adventures. The Red Tornado and Johnny Thunder both crashed the meeting, the Red Tornado making a hasty entrance and exit. It would not be until All Star Comic #4, that the Justice Society would have its first, full fledged adventure together. In issue #7 Batman & Superman became honorary members. In issue #8 Dr. Midnight & Starman became regulars. In issue #12 Wonder Woman becomes secretary of the JSA. In issue #24 Wildcat & Mr. Terrific made an appearance, and in issue #39 Black Canary arrives.
