About the series
In the mid-1970s, DC Comics launched this five-issue series starring a primal, heroic jungle lord, a Tarzan-like figure who ruled a lost African kingdom. Written primarily by Gerry Conway and Jack Oleck, with lush, atmospheric art by Alfredo Alcala, David Wenzel, and Tony Caravana, the strip offered a brief but vivid burst of pulp adventure. It stands as a minor but memorable entry in the era's wave of sword-and-sorcery and jungle hero comics, showcasing DC's willingness to explore genre territory beyond its core superhero line.
