Roughly forty years before that OTHER "warrior princess," the backup strip "Brothers of the Spear" debuted a "sister of the spear." Zulena, as a prospective mate for regular hero Natongo. From Dell Comics's TARZAN #83 (1956). Though she wasn't the first Black African fighting-female in comic books, she may have been the first regularly featured one, even in a supporting role. She also had the longest run, since the feature endured into the 1970s.
