Brothers of the Spear #13

In "Tree of Mystery," Dan-El and Tavane are drawn into a deadly mystery when they rescue three women from a Leopard Man attack—only to be captured and imprisoned by the priestesses of the enigmatic Tree of Mystery. With help from Natongo and his guide Sihamba, they must navigate a treacherous path to the tree, where they free a kidnapped boy and confront the guardian in a desperate bid to survive. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Dan Spiegle, with a striking cover by George Wilson, this 1975 Western tale blends suspense and ancient ritual in a story that’s as much about survival as it is about uncovering the truth behind the sacred tree.
