Jungle Jim #13
In "The Filipinos," Jungle Jim teams up with his loyal companion Kolu to retrieve six elephants needed to launch a lumber camp, but the task grows complicated when Jim’s friend U Nga Sine claims a spirit panther—known as a nat—has been terrorizing his family. After rescuing Nga Sine’s daughter from a black panther, Jim investigates strange tracks near the Nullah and a stolen pot of rupees, uncovering clues that point to a human culprit rather than supernatural forces. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Paul Norris, this 1957 adventure blends jungle peril with quiet mystery, all rendered in the distinctive style of Norris, whose dynamic pencils and inks define the cover and interior alike.
