With the city under siege, Fantomah summons the ancient gods of Egypt to expose the ruse, turning the impostors to dust and forcing Ghazia to flee. Written by W. B. Hovious and illustrated by George Appel, this 1944 tale blends supernatural dread with ancient mystery, all framed by Joe Doolin’s striking cover art.
Kaänga and Ann Mason investigate a mysterious safari spotted by the pygmy scout N'geeso, only to discover that the caravan is actually a front for the wanted murderer Jules Rousseau and his accomplice Babes Malloy, who are fleeing into unclaimed territory with a hidden agenda. When Kaänga is captured and Ann finds herself hunted through the jungle, the duo must navigate deadly wildlife and desperate criminals to uncover what Rousseau is truly after in this remote corner of Africa.
In a remote jungle outpost, an entomologist and his daughter are taken by wary natives who see their insect specimens as sorcery. When Tabu intervenes, he uses a burst of fireworks to prove his own power—light and noise, not magic, that can turn the tide.
In the dry heart of the jungle, Wambi faces a hard choice when his village withholds food from the creatures he protects. When the same tribe turns to him in desperation after being attacked, Wambi must decide what loyalty truly means.
