☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. "Jungle Empress" depicts Zegra rescuing her brother from a man named Sanchez who has held him captive, with assistance from allies Alverez and the jungle girl, after which Zegra and Alverez part ways as Zegra remains in the jungle. "Jungle Nightmare" features novelist Stella Wendon being interviewed about her jungle adventure books; when she dismisses the jungle terrors as purely imaginary, a publisher offers to take her on a trip to Africa where she can see the jungle for herself, promising she will be thrilled by what she discovers there.
When a ruthless businessman named Sanchez brings his deadly bull-fighting operation from his homeland into the heart of the Congo, Zegra finds herself caught between a vengeful plot and a brutal "Stadium of Death" where captured beasts—and people—are forced into mortal combat. Imprisoned and facing Sanchez's savage arena, the jungle empress must rely on her cunning and her fierce companion Tawner to survive the horrors he has engineered. With her freedom and the safety of her people hanging in the balance, Zegra prepares to face whatever deadly creatures await her in the stadium's cruel confines.
When an earthquake tears open a hidden ancient city in the jungle, anthropologist Dr. Morgan arrives from New York with assistant Peter Brooks, but her true obsession becomes horrifyingly clear—she's using a mysterious serum to reanimate the mummies entombed within, commanding them as an unstoppable army. Zegra must race to stop Dr. Morgan's Legion of Mad Mummies before the awakened killers destroy the jungle villages and their people, with only Peter and her loyal companion Simba at her side.
When Zegra discovers a dying stranger clutching a cryptic map, she embarks on a perilous journey to the mysterious "Mating Place of the Rivers"—only to uncover an oil operation hidden beneath the jungle and find herself caught in the murderous schemes of Tyr, chief of the Wazir. Trapped in a flooding death pit alongside a fellow prisoner, Zegra must fight not only the rising waters but also Tyr's relentless pursuit as the black liquid beneath the earth threatens to consume everything and everyone in its path.
Novelist Stella Wendon dismisses the jungle as dull and imaginary until she takes a safari into Africa with a young reporter—only to discover that the real dangers she'd long written about are terrifyingly real. When a powerful tribal chieftess named Tunaga captures the party and sentences them to death by fire, Stella learns that some horrors can't be exaggerated on the page. A wild rescue unfolds as unexpected forces clash in the jungle, forcing Stella to finally reckon with the truth about the world she'd been writing from her desk all along.
