Penciled with vivid energy by Pierce Rice, this 1951 adventure blends jungle intrigue and daring rescues in a tale that unfolds with relentless pace.
In the jungles of Ugandi, Saäri the jungle goddess intervenes when she discovers treacherous outsiders—Slade, Beth, and Garson—using smoke and deception to pose as the legendary priestess prophesied to rule the Temple of the Apes, all while plundering the sacred treasures of Chief Nikola's superstitious tribe. As Saäri infiltrates the temple to expose the scheme, the line between legend and reality blurs in a clash of greed, faith, and jungle justice.
Saäri, the fierce jungle protector, intervenes when Sanders and his band of Swahilis attack a riverboat captained by Ben Burton, only to discover that Burton himself is running a brutal slave operation—and her heroic interference has inadvertently aided the very criminals she fought to stop. Now separated from her allies and deep in enemy territory, Saäri must infiltrate the slavers' stronghold to rescue those who've been chained and sold into bondage. With danger lurking at every turn and time running short, the jungle goddess prepares to take on an army of desert slavers and their ringleader al-Kassim.
In "Bantu Blood Curse," Jim and his loyal companion Champ find themselves caught in a deadly jungle storm when they stumble upon a desperate explorer fleeing a furious Bantu tribe. With the tribe's sacred treasures stolen by Jim's old enemy Carson, the duo must navigate treacherous terrain and ancient curses to survive the wrath of a people driven to violence by betrayal and blood.
Tambor the Mighty finds his jungle domain threatened when plunderers led by Karl Shaefer and the conflicted Sheila steal the Buhutus tribe's precious ivory, leaving the jungle champion wounded in their wake. Now Tambor tracks the thieves through the dense Congo wilderness, determined to recover the tribe's treasure and bring the criminals to justice—but he'll discover there's more to Sheila's involvement than meets the eye. With the Buhutus at his side and his faithful companion Nikko, Tambor closes in on the plunderers' camp for a reckoning that will test even his legendary strength.
