Nyoka the Jungle Girl #31

This May 1949 Fawcett publication brings Nyoka the Jungle Girl face-to-face with one of the jungle's most dangerous predators — a crouching leopard ready to spring — while a man with a drawn revolver and Nyoka herself, poised in her signature red shorts and boots, hold their ground in the dense undergrowth. The photo cover gives the whole scene a vivid, almost cinematic tension that perfectly suits a title promising two complete sensational serials, including "The Jungle Pirates." At a dime for 52 full-color pages, this issue offers a genuinely satisfying adventure package.
