"The Volcano Fury" kicks off in Africa #1 (1955), a standout early tale from Gardner Fox and Bob Powell, whose dynamic art brings the jungle’s danger to life. When Chief Kubulu schemes to punish the white officials who wronged him, a sudden discovery by Cave Girl disrupts his plan—just as the stakes reach a boiling point. The cover by Bob Powell captures the tension perfectly, a fiery backdrop to a story of revenge, survival, and hidden dangers beneath the surface.
