I
definitely should have written this explanation many months ago, and
I'm very sorry I didn't. Anyone visiting this site over the
last year or so would have noticed that there are large unfinished
sections with explanations about how I will complete them when I return
from a two-month holiday at the end of March 2007. Those pages
- the Fiction House Comic Cover Galleries and the Gena Lee Nolin Episode
Guides - have not been updated at all since the end of January because
when I got back I soon discovered that I had run out of bandwidth
on my ISP's servers. I shopped around and eventually purchased
a domain name and lots more bandwidth, and that's the site
I've been slaving away on over the last nine months. That site
is now up and running officially, even though it isn't finished either
(One day folks, one day!). However, it is a much better site
than this one. If you have only ever seen this one then I suggest
you hotfoot it over there post haste. I guarantee you will never
come back here. Here it is: terrororstralis.com/sheena

ACKNOWLEDGMENT •
This Irish McCalla tribute would not have been possible without the
generosity of Frank Bonilla, long-time fan and one-time acquaintance
of Irish (see photo at right - click to enlarge). Frank's boundless
enthusiasm for all things Irish and Sheena has resulted in this site
being much better than it otherwise would have been. He has
provided advice, personal anecdotes, images, artwork, scans of old
magazines, etc, etc, etc. You will see his name mentioned frequently
in these pages. Frank is always looking for obscure Irish McCalla
and Sheena items. If you think you can help him please contact
comic2read@aol.com.

SHEENA,
THE FEMALE TARZAN
This
large and very detailed section of my website about Sheena, the female jungle
heroine, is only a part of a much larger site about Tarzan, on who Sheena
is based. The site contains detailed analyses of the Tarzan films
and novels. If you would like to view those pages please click on
the link below to go to my home page, which has the main menu for the site.
For those who may like to write, there is also a link to my email
