Feature Book #53

In "War in the Jungle," the Phantom steps into a conflict sparked by greed when prospectors Smiley and Hill kidnap Llongo Chief Tari’s daughter Ola, framing a neighboring tribe and igniting war. Written by Lee Falk and illustrated with bold precision by Ray Moore—both inks and pencils—this 1948 adventure sees the Ghost Who Walks intervene to stop bloodshed, rescuing both Ola and later Diana, who arrives in the jungle seeking the Phantom. The cover, also by Ray Moore, captures the tension of the wild with striking clarity.
