In "Captain Triumph Battles the Evil of Silvertip!", Bernard Dibble crafts a twisty tale of rivalry and revelation, as Maloney’s jealousy over a distant cousin’s inheritance leads him down a surprising path—only to uncover that his newfound friend Bobo, whom he met in Africa, is no ordinary man… but an ape. With art and inks by Dibble himself, and a cover by Al Bryant that captures the mystery and suspense, this 1946 issue from Crack Comics delivers a quirky, pulpy adventure that’s as much about perception as it is about heroism.
