It's funny, they erased "Jo-Jo" from the titles of the stories but he's still called "Jo-Jo" in the dialog balloons. Odd why they suddenly had to change the title to "Jungle Jo." Maybe the heirs of Jo-Jo the Dog Faced Boy finally sued them.

Here's an interesting observation. JO-JO Congo King first appeared in issue #7 of JO-JO Comics (July 1947). Thereafter he became the lead feature, and after only a few months, 3 or 4 Jo-Jo stories were appearing in each and every issue. With the November 1947 issue of All TOP Comics (#8), he became a regular fixture of that title, appearing in one story in each issue between #8 and #18. All TOP #18 (the final issue) was dated the same month (July 1949) as JO-JO Congo King #29, which was also the final issue of that title. Jo-Jo's entire career spanned only 2 years -- but during that brief period, Fox Features published an incredible 685 pages of Jo-Jo stories! That is an amazing total for such a short-lived character. During that same two-year period, Dell only published a dozen issues of TARZAN! So here we are with an early 1950 un-numbered issue of JUNGLE JO, some 6 months or so after the last stories of JO-JO in his own title and in All TOP. The fact that JUNGLE JO only ran for a total of four issues leads me to think that for that brief 2-year run, writers and artists were cranking out JO-JO stories like nobody's business, and Fox probably built up a substantial inventory. If kids weren't buying JO-JO, maybe it WAS because of the name? -- So maybe it wouldn't hurt to try using up those inventoried, already paid-for stories, using a different name? I guess Fox thought he had nothing to lose by trying.

NotesThis comic was intended to be Jo-Jo #30, but they had to make a last-minute title change to Jungle Jo. All J-J stories have the feature-name erased from the title pages, leaving only "Congo King". In the stories he's always called Jo-Jo.
