Thun'da, King of the Congo

In the early 1950s, Magazine Enterprises unleashed a six-issue jungle adventure series starring Thun’da, a modern man stranded in a prehistoric African realm. Written primarily by Gardner Fox and featuring the vivid artwork of Bob Powell and Frank Frazetta, the strip pitted its hero against dinosaurs and savage tribes alongside allies like the warrior woman Cave Girl and the native Pha. A fast-paced blend of lost-world fantasy and pulp heroics, Thun’da, King of the Congo stands as a showcase for Frazetta’s early comic work and a classic example of the atomic-age jungle genre.
