In "Swindle in Ivory," jungle adventurer Camilla faces a deadly double-cross when a tribal chief’s promise to abandon their crocodile cult’s raids is betrayed by the witch doctor—a white renegade hiding in plain sight. With the Ulangoas at her side, Camilla must confront both the cult’s fanatical followers and the traitor’s ruthless ambush on a river steamboat. Written by Victor Ibsen and illustrated by Matt Baker with inks by Ray Osrin, this 1948 tale pulses with tension and danger, while John Celardo’s cover captures the story’s primal menace.
