Diamond Adventure Comic

Atlas Publishing’s Diamond Adventure Comic (1960–1963) was a 31-issue jungle-adventure anthology built around the recurring hero Kaänga, a Tarzan-esque lord of the wild. The series was a late-era showcase for the Iger Shop’s distinctive, lush illustration style, with frequent artistic contributions from Henry Kiefer and Gus Schrotter, while writers Allan O'Hara, Frank Riddell, and Pierre La Rue spun tales of tribal conflict, lost civilizations, and exotic danger. It stands as a compact, beautifully drawn artifact of the early-1960s adventure-comic boom, offering a final burst of pulp-inspired storytelling before the medium’s shift toward superheroes.
