Cave Girl #11 (A-1 #82)
In "The Pool of Life!", Cave Girl finds herself at the heart of a mysterious jungle realm where ancient forces stir beneath the surface of a forbidden lake. As the lone survivor raised by wolves in the Dawn Lands, she must confront the consequences of an outsider’s reckless discovery—without knowing the true nature of the power that lies beneath the water. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Bob Powell, this 1953 adventure blends primal wonder with early superhero mythos, all rendered in bold, dynamic art by Powell, whose distinctive style defines the cover and interior alike.
