The Bantam #[nn]

Jan 1967 · Topps · 0.00 FREE

The Bantam is living the good life in the jungle. He is informed by warrior chief Bugaboo that white hunters have been seen nearby. He investigates but finds no sign of them. It is a ruse to lure Bantam away from his throne. The natives are tired of generations of Bantams exploiting their wealth and now want to kill him. They rip off Bantam's suit, which they discover is inflatable, like a life-raft. Inside the suit is a real "Ghost-who-Walks" It's Casper (or a lookalike.) He only wore the suit, he explains, so somebody would play with him!
