| Not having read this title, I'm now going to. Somehow I've missed these characters. |

| Johnny Fox, Indian Detective.
Judging by the colouring he is meant to be an Indian from the subcontinent. There must be a story behind this. An unusual and unexpected ethnic hero in the Golden Age?
The art on Jungleman is excellent. Harry Parkhurst.
