With a forged deed in hand and the last heir now his next target, his scheme inches toward completion in this eerie 1948 tale. Written by Tom Kent and lettered by Typeset, the story unfolds with a chilling precision, its unsettling atmosphere brought to life by Jack Kamen’s cover art, a striking blend of dread and vintage flair.
In "Bloodstained Fangs!", Rulah faces off against the ruthless Mava, who’s wielding old war weapons to seize control of Africa. When Konrad betrays Mava and chooses to stand with Rulah, he’s punished with a gruesome fate—buried up to his neck and left to the ants, his skull later becoming an unwitting trap for Mava’s escape.
Mildred Maxim ventures into the jungle to challenge the legends surrounding Rulah, only to be captured by the fanatical Patmos, who sees her as the key to dominating the wild. With Patmos obsessed with ancient rituals and the power of sacrifice, Rulah—guided by her bond with Tombo and her own fierce instincts—races to stop him before the jungle claims another victim.
Captain Henry Morgan rose from cabin boy to become the most feared pirate on the seven seas, leading thousands of men in brutal raids across the Caribbean—from Puerto del Principe to Panama—using cunning and violence to seize wealth and power. His exploits against Spanish strongholds earned him an unexpected reward: King Charles II knighted him and named him governor of Jamaica, transforming the bloodthirsty buccaneer into a man of official standing. This is the tale of the pirate who conquered empires and rose to rule them.
When a Cairo employment agency begins trafficking jungle women under false pretenses, Rulah discovers their scheme and warns her village to hide—but when the traffickers capture one of her own and torture her for information, the Jungle Goddess must confront both Schloss and his ruthless partner Grosa to save the maidens from a terrible fate. In this 1948 tale from Zoot Comics, Rulah fights back against exploitation and cruelty with the ferocity of the jungle itself.
