Paul Wheelahan's The Panther #44
In "Tiger Hunt," The Panther joins diplomat Peter Benton and his wife Harriet on a perilous expedition through the Indian jungle, where a single rifle shot proves the hero’s skill—but not the end of the danger. With a second tiger still at large and Benton chasing it into the wild, The Panther must follow, testing both courage and loyalty in a hunt that will reveal more than just the strength of a hunter. The story is written and illustrated by Paul Wheelahan, with full creative control evident in every panel, and the cover by Wheelahan captures the tension of the chase in bold, dynamic lines.
