☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Code of Honor!", Wally Wood crafts a gripping tale of perseverance and obsession as hunter Ackeley faces the brutal wilderness of darkest Africa, enduring a terrifying encounter with a monstrous bull elephant. With stark art by Wally Wood and Tatjana Wood, and dynamic inks by Wood himself, the story captures the raw danger and personal cost of chasing dreams in the wild. The cover by Jack Davis adds a bold, cinematic flair to this 1955 EC classic, a 10-cent testament to the era’s bold storytelling.
When former big game hunter McBan is hired to lead a safari for a movie crew, his carefully laid plans unravel when the film director, Merrill Quantock, lets an educated Kikuyu named Limuru choose the crew. McBan, resentful and suspicious, selects Hinga, a mechanic others distrust, setting off a chain of strange accidents in the jungle—though the real threat may be far more cunning than anyone suspects.
Carl Akeley’s relentless pursuit of Africa’s wildest beasts takes him deep into the untamed wilds, where a terrifying bull elephant leaves him gravely wounded. Though he survives and continues his expeditions, his true legacy lies not in the hunt, but in the vision of a museum that would one day honor the continent’s creatures—though he would never live to see it come to life.
In the skies over war-torn Europe, pilot Bill Stone finds his rivalry with fellow aviator Curry intensifying after overhearing Curry call someone "yellow"—a word that ignites a fierce personal contest for the most kills. As the two pilots push their limits in dangerous dogfights, the stakes rise not just for survival, but for pride, with Captain Sault watching from the ground and the Germans closing in.
