| An interesting comic for all fans of classic jungle adventures. |
|
| A title that says the quiet part out loud. |
|
| Another comic that has no artist credits.
The cover is by Raymond Kiintsler and the inside front page and the story are by Louis Ravelli [Spelling/] both signed. The only thing that would interest me about this kind of Jungle girl or guy story would be the art, in this case it's excellent. The story here isn't bad either.
Also in this case the artist has done some research, so the environment really looks like a jungle and the details like the snake and the animals, the hut and the bamboo cage, are quite accurate.
These characters were obviously devised to appeal to adolescent guys, and maybe some girls. The social elements are of their time and a lot healthier than most of the then current horror comics with the tormented girls in red dresses on the covers.
Cheers! |

| The 'Origin of Capt Courage' story is pretty certainly Will Eisner art. |
|
| It looks that way, but checking the GCD page shows Captain Courage is a reprint from Punch Comics 1 and is credited to Charles Sultan (who had worked at the Eisner & Iger Shop before working for the Chesler Shop). |
