Jungle Jim #25

In "The Best of Everything!", Jungle Jim faces off against the cunning King of the Black Market, Leland Burr, who's using strawberry shortcake, candy, and television to distract the people of the Ashuri Valley while secretly mining their diamond reserves. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with vibrant art by Pat Boyette—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—this 1969 Charlton adventure delivers a quirky, high-stakes clash in the heart of the jungle. The cover, also by Boyette, captures the offbeat tension of a tropical treasure hunt gone sideways.
