Tom-Tom

A short-lived but lively oddity from Magazine Enterprises, Tom-Tom ran for just three issues in the late 1950s, starring a jungle-raised white hero in the tradition of Tarzan. The series is best remembered for the striking artwork of Jack Kirby, who penciled the debut issue before moving on, giving the title a brief flash of his signature dynamism. Though it never found a lasting audience, Tom-Tom stands as a curious footnote in the era's adventure comics and a snapshot of Kirby's early work for the publisher.
