Rulah #22

A mysterious wanderer known as the Leatherman arrives in the Congo jungle on his yearly trek, his true identity shrouded in decades of secrecy—until Rulah rescues him from a charging rhino and becomes entangled in the enigmatic stranger's past. As Rulah tries to uncover who this cultured yet solitary figure really is, she'll need to piece together the dark history that drove him into the jungle's depths.

Rulah discovers the fascinating history of the First Americans in this educational tale from 1949, tracing how ancient peoples crossed from Asia into North America and eventually developed into two vastly different civilizations—one remaining primitive in the north, while the south flourished with advanced art, writing, and complex religious practices. The story reveals how these South American societies kept records through knotted cord and developed calendars, though their spiritual beliefs came at a dark cost.

When a woman escapes a mental hospital clutching a mysterious bone carving, her fractured memories lead Rulah into the African jungle to investigate a ghastly legend—a grave-robbing killer known as the Ghoul of Galhalla. Caught between warring forces and a madness that may not be madness at all, Rulah must uncover the truth before more lives are lost to an ancient evil.

With merchants of death at every turn and monsters at his heels, Zago must decide between escape and confronting the vainest queen of them all.
