Great Find David! A great new addition to the catalogue. The Movie King Solomon's Mines with Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger, Richard Carlson came out in 1950, so this would have been a cash-in attempt. Would probably have sold well. The art is by Lee J Ames.May well be the only comic book he ever did. Pity, his cover looks a little like Frazetta. He doesn't have a Lambiak listing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_J._Ames Interestingly he worked for Disney and published a large series of 'Draw 50' 'how to' Drawing books, even up to Star Wars in 1984.

Thanks, David - a real treasure. The inks are marvellous throughout - look at bottom left panel page 8. "What evil lurked in the caverns of the Twin Peaks?" What indeed - I love it. Inkoosi is not the Zulu word for chief - it's Inkuna (unless the terminology has changed in the last hundred years, which is quite possible) - not that it matters.

NotesAdapted from the novel KING SOLOMON'S MINES by H. Rider Haggard. Originally credited to Lee Ames, but the art is identical to Astarita's signed stories in "Real Life Comics" #53, "Intimate Confessions" #5 and "Realistic Romances"#8 (IW-edition). Compare the faces, ears, eyes and hands, and also compare the signed Lee Ames "Dusty Rhodes" stories in "Fight Comics" #13 and #19. Faces, hands and "wet look" inking are all very different from this Astarita art.
