Pretending to be blind, he infiltrates their sacred temple, secretly photographing the idol—then using a trick with a treated canvas to project the image and claim divine authority. When Miss Porter’s plan begins to unravel, a sudden threat forces Kafir to reveal his secret. The cover by Bob Webb captures the mystery and danger of this jungle-bound showdown.
In a quiet moment of jungle life, Jo’s calf is in danger, and the hippo mother who once received no help now answers the call. When Wambi asks Tawn and Ogg to return a calf to its mother, their refusal sets off a chain of events they never expected. The story unfolds with quiet power, showing how kindness—however small—can ripple across the wild.
In "null," Kafir, aided by Miss Porter, stages a daring deception to claim leadership of the Kibalas by pretending to be blind and infiltrating their sacred temple. Using a hidden camera and a cleverly prepared canvas, he conjures the image of the sacred idol to prove his supposed divine vision. But when Terry confronts him with a spear, the fraud is exposed in a moment of sudden, telling fear.
In this 1951 Jungle Comics tale, Camilla sets out to reclaim the sacred white hippopotamus stolen by deceitful traders who had taken it from the Walsulis. As she tracks them through the wild, the captured animals they’d been forcing into the circus trade turn against their captors.
