This anthology issue contains five stories: "Wrath of the Gods" featuring Wild Boy, "Trophy Hunter" with Wild Boy, "Battle for Survival" by Mike Becker, "Up a Tree" by Vic Martin, and "Perilous Journey" featuring Wild Boy. In the primary Wild Boy story visible across these pages, hunters Barton and Brown pursue an albino animal in the Congo jungle while natives attempt to prevent them from killing a sacred creature, believing it will bring sickness to their village. Wild Boy encounters the hunters and ultimately captures a bull elephant alive after the creature is trapped with ropes, while he learns from the tribal leader that a mysterious sickness is plaguing the region and offers to help find a cure in the jungle.

When a devastating drought grips Keeto's village, the witch doctor Kali demands a blood sacrifice to appease an angry sun god—and Wild Boy's friend Keeto is chosen. Racing against time, Wild Boy infiltrates the village to stop the ritual, only to find himself and Keeto both condemned to die as Kali manipulates the desperate tribe's fears. As the sacrificial ceremony reaches its climax, an extraordinary celestial event forces the villagers to reconsider who truly wields power over their fate.

Joe BartonLeslie BronnJanice Bronn

Leslie Bronn, a big-game hunter obsessed with bagging the rarest trophy, sets his sights on a white albino deer sacred to the Nawali tribe—and neither his niece Janice's pleas nor guide Joe Barton's warnings will stop him from pursuing it. As Bronn's reckless hunt escalates, the angered natives close in, forcing the party into a desperate jungle chase that tests whether greed or survival will win out.

Walter Wiggins, a ruthless big-game hunter armed with modern weapons, enters the jungle determined to capture Monstro, a legendary giant elephant, using brute force and cruelty to drive his safari forward. When Wild Boy learns of Monstro's capture, he intervenes and forces the arrogant hunter to face the jungle armed with only a native blade—a trial that strips away Wiggins' false power and teaches him a hard lesson about true courage. By journey's end, the hunter discovers that strength without compassion is no strength at all.

A mysterious plague grips a remote jungle village, claiming victims with a sickness that blackens the tongue and brings unbearable thirst, and Wild Boy recognizes it as something he's encountered before. Convinced that only the medicine men from a distant stone city can help, he embarks on a dangerous journey to fetch a doctor—but bringing modern medical knowledge into the jungle means facing fear, suspicion, and forces determined to keep the two worlds apart. With Daro at his side and the village's fate hanging in the balance, Wild Boy must prove that help can come from the most unexpected places.
