Gwandanaland Comics #2172

This Gwandanaland collection reprints Jungle Comics No. 37 (January, 10¢ cover price), and the reproduced cover sets the tone perfectly — a muscular jungle lord thrusts a spear at a massive, fanged dinosaur while a woman in a leopard-print outfit raises a knife defiantly behind it, all rendered in that vivid Golden Age style. The volume promises adventures from an impressive roster of characters listed right on the cover: Kaänga Jungle Lord in "Scaly Sentinel of Taboo Swamp," Simba King of Beasts, Fantomah Daughter of the Pharaohs, Wambi the Jungle Boy, Camilla, and Tabu. If you're drawn to the wild, pulpy energy of jungle-adventure comics, this 2018 reprint collection delivers a generous helping of that prehistoric terror and exotic thrills in one handsome package.
