☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. In the main Nyoka story, a scientist's water supply is sabotaged with a powerful drug that weakens people, and Nyoka discovers a sponge absorbing the contaminated water before alerting authorities; she later pursues the culprits into the jungle, where she battles enemies and encounters a mysterious caravan. The backup feature "Horace Hotstuff" is a comedic story in which the titular strong man boasts about his strength to his friends and becomes involved in a pickpocket chase that lands him in jail.
Nyoka treks into the Barbacosi jungle to film a movie, but her carefully planned shoot spirals into chaos when actual warriors attack the film crew, injuring everyone on set. Determined to uncover what's driven the normally peaceful Barbacosi tribe to sudden violence, Nyoka sets out to track them down—only to discover a sinister force is behind their madness, and she may be walking straight into its grip. With her wits and resourcefulness tested like never before, Nyoka races to stop the threat before it claims more victims.
When Nyoka visits Trader Tom's shop looking for a new shirt, she discovers his inventory comes with some questionable sales tactics—and even more questionable quality control. This lighthearted tale showcases the jungle girl's no-nonsense attitude in the face of a merchant's creative honesty.
When an Egyptian scientist arrives in New York carrying water samples that could expose a poisoning plot, his sudden disappearance sets Nyoka on an urgent investigation that leads her halfway around the world to Egypt itself. Forced to navigate a web of saboteurs and kidnappers, Nyoka must use her wits to survive deadly traps and uncover the truth before her own father becomes another victim. With danger mounting at every turn, she races against time to stop those responsible and bring everyone home alive.
When an anonymous letter written in invisible ink directs Nyoka to an address she doesn't recognize, what begins as a suspected practical joke quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—a case of mistaken identity that puts her life in immediate peril. Racing against time to warn her friend Larry Grayson before criminals can carry out their deadly plan, Nyoka must use her wits and resourcefulness to turn the tables on her captors.
Nyoka lands a role in a jungle-themed picture directed by the temperamental Gregory Slotzovitch, unaware that a deranged former actor named Daremore de Veldt blames her for ruining his career and has sworn to kill her. With de Veldt lurking disguised among the film crew, death strikes repeatedly on set—and Nyoka must uncover the identity of the murderer before she becomes his next victim.
