Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Jesse Marsh, this 1954 Dell adventure delivers classic jungle action with a mythic edge, all rendered in the bold, dynamic style that defined the era. The cover by Jesse Marsh captures the tension of the moment, a striking image of the Black King’s looming presence.
