Congo Bill #4

From DC's 1955 jungle adventure series, Congo Bill #4 pairs the pith-helmeted Congo Bill with young Janu the Jungle Boy in a cover scene that's equal parts dangerous and absurd. A charging rhinoceros thunders straight at Bill while a man in a red cap crouches nearby with a sound-recording device, pleading with him not to shoot — he needs to capture the rhino's attack on tape — as Janu looks on with understandable skepticism. Nick Cardy's linework brings real energy to the chaos, and the featured story, "The Spotted Leopard Strikes Again!," promises the kind of wild jungle action that made this series a dime well spent.
