Nyoka the Jungle Girl #62 (1951)
Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com
This issue features two stories. In the first, a salesman attempts to sell a coffee bar to a business agent by making long-distance calls to demonstrate the markup chain from manufacturer to middleman to wholesaler to retailer. The second story, "Egbert the Explorer Fakir!," involves two fakirs who discover bags of nails and engage in a pillow fight, while Egbert appears to be lying on a bed of nails. The main Nyoka story involves a volcanic crisis on an island, where Nyoka must use a lasso to redirect a volcano's eruption and prevent it from destroying the island, requiring precise timing to make the lava flow into a stream instead.
