In "The Death Ray," the Pirate Prince finds himself in a jungle peril when his crew is ambushed by hostile natives—only to be rescued by a massive, mysterious gorilla named Bombo. With the prince’s daring plan to foil a royal wedding and protect Lady Marie, a clever ruse involving a wedding veil and a gorilla in disguise sets the stage for a moment of shocking revelation. Written, drawn, and inked by Dick Briefer, this 1941 adventure blends swashbuckling action with a touch of absurd humor, all rendered in the bold, energetic style of Jack Binder’s cover art.
