About the series
In this short-lived 1970s AC Comics series, adventurer Tara Fremont—a fearless jungle heroine—navigates treacherous landscapes and confronts foes like the mysterious Doctor Rivits alongside ally Janis Lawson. Written and illustrated primarily by Bill Black, with contributions from T. Casey Brennan, the two-issue run blends pulp-inspired action with a strong female lead, reflecting the era's interest in reviving classic adventure tropes. Though brief, Tara on the Dark Continent stands as a minor but distinctive entry in the independent comics landscape, showcasing Black's energetic art and a commitment to serialized thrills.
