In "The Monsters of Kilmanjabo," Bob Webb’s art brings to life a tense tale of deception and tribal intrigue, as Kafir schemes to become chief of the Kibalas by faking supernatural powers. 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.
