The Curse of Kalunga!
6 pp · jungle
Wild BoyChief NedruKeetoDaro (panther)Kaw (falcon)WampittiAskurriWagabi

When an exiled warrior named Wagabi curses the village after his banishment, Wild Boy witnesses the terrifying manifestation of Kalunga—an ancient spirit demon said to dwell in the great swamp—and must venture into the murky depths to uncover the truth behind the supernatural terror. As the village trembles in superstitious fear and Chief Nedru's people demand the return of the exile to save themselves, Wild Boy alone dares to challenge what may be far less divine than it appears. A tale of jungle justice, false curses, and the price of evil that lingers long after the final battle.

Rex Cutler and his cameraman venture into Bwamali territory to film jungle wildlife, but their presence stirs suspicion among the tribe—particularly the warrior Ungar, who convinces Chief Watibbi that their machines are driving away the animals that feed his people. When a deadly man-eating lion called Looha strikes the village and kills the chief's son, Ungar seizes the chance to blame the white men and demand their execution. Wild Boy steps in with a dangerous bargain: he'll track down Looha and bring back proof of the kill by sundown, or Rex and his crew will pay the price.
