Jungle Comics #52

In "Feast for the River Devils," a pair of deceitful con men lure two archaeologists to the Khufu Temple with promises of treasure, only to set a deadly trap. Kaänga, Ann, and N'geeso arrive just in time to intervene, turning the temple’s ancient halls into a battleground where survival depends on wit and courage.

In the blazing heat of a spreading forest fire, Simba leads a desperate flight for survival as jungle animals flee the flames. With courage and grit, he rescues an orphaned leopard cub and faces down a pack of crocodiles to clear a path across the river.

"Jungle Drums" is a fascinating non-fiction look at the various percussion instruments used throughout African communities—from the Vodu drum wielded by witch-doctors to stir warriors to battle, to the H'Anda signal drum that relays complex messages across miles of jungle, to the massive Moboutalinto community drum carved from a single tree trunk. This one-page feature breaks down how these drums function and the crucial roles they play in tribal life, offering a genuine window into jungle communication and culture that goes well beyond the adventure stories sharing these pages.
