“Rampage!”

In "Rampage!", Waku, bound by a solemn vow of pacifism made to his dying father, watches as the kingship of the Bantus passes to Mabu—only to see the new ruler turn the tribe’s strength into a tool for personal gain. When Lalei, his lover, steps in with a daring ruse, pretending to be the spirit of his father, Waku is freed from his oath and must confront the consequences of his choice. Written by Don Rico and illustrated by Ogden Whitney and Carl Burgos, with a striking cover by Joe Maneely, this 1954 issue blends tribal drama and moral tension in a story that redefines leadership through sacrifice and action.
