When a ruthless band of murderers invades a jungle village, it falls to Zaro, the Prince of Jungle Magic, to stop their reign of terror—but the criminals capture him and a young woman named Vilma Day before he can fully act.

Illustrated by Francois Leland, "Invasion of Terror" showcases the jungle magician's desperate battle against impossible odds in the primitive backlands.
