☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories: "The Lamp of Three Wishes" featuring Lance O'Casey, in which a group encounters a dinosaur (Tyrannosaurus Rex) emerging from a jungle while trying to escape from pursuing monkeys; and "Nyoka the Jungle Girl," where Nyoka agrees to help filmmakers document gorillas for a museum, but sets a trap to capture one of the creatures for their exhibition, with plans to transport it by wagon while keeping it caged and subdued.
Lance O'Casey and his friend Mike are summoned to the South Seas home of Professor Watson to help civilize his adventurous daughter Mona—but when she impulsively rubs an ancient lamp discovered by her father, the three of them are whisked back ten thousand years into prehistoric times, pursued by hostile pre-men and their dinosaur mounts. With two wishes already spent and the lamp's final wish mysteriously refusing to work, Lance, Mike, and the Professor must find a way to solve an ancient riddle to escape their dangerous predicament and return home.
Well-known big game hunter Peter Van Brugge ventures into the swamplands of British Uganda to pursue the rare and fearless white rhinoceros, a 6-ton creature dreaded by locals who believe it's possessed by evil spirits. When his safari locates a family of rhinos at Devil's Creek, Van Brugge must navigate a dangerous hunt with the goal of capturing the young calf alive. This 1955 adventure puts the seasoned hunter against one of Africa's most dangerous and nearly extinct animals.
