Kangas were giant space kangaroos that could leap from planet to planet. Smaller kangas were ridden like horses by the Amazons of Paradise Island. Wonder Woman's kanga was named Jumpa, and was were created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter in Sensation Comics #6 (1942.) More recently, Jumpa has become Princess Diana's representative in the DC Super-Pets children's book series, starring in "The Fastest Pet on Earth." Her entry above was written by Steven Korté and drawn by Art Baltazar. The full color magazine sized 128-page book is available for just $7.95 in paperback or $18.95 in hardcover from Picture Window Books, a capstone imprint.

Funny how completely odd Jumpa was in the old WW comics and how readily readers took these kangaroo-type things for granted. Id have loved to seen them reintroduced by George Perez in to the book when he was on it! How on Earth could he have done it?!?
