Gwandanaland Comics #291

This Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Jungle Comics No. 56, and Joe Doolin's cover sets the scene vividly: a fierce big cat lunges through a jungle river while a muscular fair-skinned figure scrambles to defend himself, as a feathered, dark-skinned warrior looms dramatically above and a leopard-clad woman watches from the foreground. Inside, the table of contents promises Ka'a'nga, Jungle Lord in "Brides for the Rainmaker Rau," along with Simba, Camilla, Wambi, and more — a full slate of golden-age jungle adventure. Doolin's dynamic, sun-drenched artwork captures the pulpy excitement that made Jungle Comics a staple of its era, and this 2017 reprint makes it all easily accessible again.
