Comics the Golden Age #2

In "Japan's Secret Oil Supply," young Mantoka inherits his father’s shamanic legacy just as his tribe begins vanishing under mysterious circumstances. When he discovers the missing hunters are being forced into brutal labor in a hidden mine, Mantoka must confront the white man behind the captivity—using his newfound powers to uncover the truth. Written and illustrated by Richard Bruce, with a striking cover by Gill Fox, this 1984 tale blends indigenous mysticism with Cold War-era intrigue in a story that’s as grounded in its setting as it is charged with quiet intensity.
