Congo Bill #2

From DC's 1954 jungle adventure series, this second issue of Congo Bill with Janu the Jungle Boy features a cover by Nick Cardy that wastes no time delivering the goods. Congo Bill and the leopard-print-clad Janu row frantically through churning water while a massive, wide-jawed crocodile lunges at a blonde woman clinging to the side of the boat — a scene that perfectly matches the featured story teaser "The River of 1,000 Crocodiles!" Cardy's dynamic linework captures both the snap of danger and the desperate energy of the rescue in progress, making this a genuinely thrilling snapshot of mid-century jungle comics at their most vivid.
