Nyoka the Jungle Girl #16

Charlton's Nyoka the Jungle Girl #16 delivers exactly what its banner promises — new, action-packed adventure — with a cover by Maurice Whitman that drops readers straight into a churning river confrontation. Nyoka, clad in leopard-print and wielding a pole overhead, faces off against a horned, cape-wearing warrior amid rushing white water and crashing debris. It's a vivid, kinetic scene that sets the stage well for the issue's story, "War in the Jungles," promising that Nyoka's world is anything but quiet in 1956.
